Last 20 Days of Math keeping us energized in June. Wow. Amazing strategies. #tvdsbmath @cedarhollowps

Geometric properties& measurement combo: Est. perimeter of composite polygons using #line to share. Given some dimensions, do you want to change your est? How do we find other dimensions knowing properties of rectangles? Conversions to finish off. #tvdsbmath @cedarhollowps

@trutland45 @cedarhollowps It’s also a parallelogram. 🤯 unlearning is hard. You do such great stuff.

A square is also a rectangle 🤯 @cedarhollowps

@DennenyJ @cedarhollowps SPLAT!! What a creative way to present this math routine! #tvdsbmath

Finding mistakes is so useful when reviewing conventions in math. This block we did that then moved onto concrete materials before navigating a 4-quad grid on paper. #tvdsbmath @cedarhollowps

The brain organizes information by context and relationships to other information. Asking students to memorize rules with no understanding of how they work goes against every advantage we have in education. bit.ly/mathpcast143 #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble

@pwharris B for sure.

What's your fav for doubling 49? One of these? Something else? Mathematicians play with doubles! When we play with doubles, we're thinking like mathematicians. #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble

BREAKING: The Ford government has lost another major court case. Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that campaign spending restrictions targeting unions & other non-party groups infringe voters' Charter right to meaningful participation in the electoral process. #onpoli

Static electricity investigations. Recording observations in L1, dual language dictionary to come as we begin this science unit. @cedarhollowps

Visual representations before abstract algorithms have a significant impact on conceptual understanding. A number line model for equations resulted in 100% accuracy. Next week we’ll connect these models to the balance method. @cedarhollowps #tvdsbmath

Math block felt great today. So fun to start w/ Quiz, Quiz, Trade (DJ EZ Rock as we moved around), independent practice, KH Gameshow to finish. Great start to algebra unit. @cedarhollowps @knowledgehook #tvdsbmath

Amazing Math Race — complete with Road Blocks & Detours. Great way to review concepts from Term 1. #tvdsbmath @cedarhollowps

The Ontario Teachers’ Federation and its Affiliates strongly oppose this outrageous and indefensible 17.64% membership fee increase. This stark fee increase comes as our members, like many Canadians, are facing the challenges of inflation and a higher cost of living.

Gift cards have long been a #holiday staple, but a new scam is on the rise. For how to spot it and insight on the strategies of these scammers, former police officer and TikTok creator @Nichellelaus joins @Candace_Global. #GiftCardScam

Northbrae's Winter Food Drive is taking place next week, with all donations going to our Family Centre. Let's make a difference in our community by helping those in need. ❤ #winterfooddrive #helpingothers #makingadifference @TVDSB

@heidi_allum I found this infographic from the StatsCan website where you can generate a pdf or web page with the latest data on so many topics! Thanks so much for posting this great way to talk about real issues in math class.

TODAY – @LPL_Friends of the Library Pop Up Book Sale is on at Central Library from 10am–4pm. Find books for all ages, DVDs, CDs & puzzles at great prices. Lots of gift quality books too! #LdnOnt

@NorthbraeKnight @visiontvdsb @TVDSB Always inspired by what you all do to go above and beyond for your Knights. ❤️

Here's Edon, working hard to figure out the braille code, posted by our wonderful Vision Resource Teachers. Did he crack the code? 🤔 #braille #crackthecode #thegrinch #TVDSB @visiontvdsb @TVDSB

@trutland45 @tvdsbmathk8 @cedarhollowps These would be great for rotational symmetry in grade 6!

We missed this challenge earlier in the week, so we did it today! Making snowflakes with pattern blocks @tvdsbmathk8 @cedarhollowps #thehollow

I’ve always loved this activity. It’s like opening a gift at the end. MART. Geometric properties: construct triangles/quads given measurements, tape off design& paint. #TVDSBMATH @cedarhollowps
