Day 1 of the #decembermathchallenge was really fun for Mrs. Prior's Primaries grade 3s.

@msbeasley5 Friday lunch club with our past kiddos is the best! ❤️

Inspired by my amazing teaching partner @MrsMelaniePrior, today we officially started our “past Beasley’s” lunch club where I get to hang out with some former Ss once a week. They may be older and cooler than me now, but I adore these crazy kiddos! Once a Beasley, always one!💜

Some educators stop at nothing to make kids' dreams come true. Brilliant. 💛

Day 13 of the #decembermathchallenge and students got competitive very quickly! They loved trying to see if they could remember the first shape and developed quick strategies to memorize the second so they could recreate it well! @tvdsbmathk8

Late on day 12 of the #decembermathchallenge, but students had fun with deciding how many cups would have hot chocolate and then for creative making their own questions @tvdsbmathk8

Day 11 of the #decembermathchallenge and my students loved doing a few patterns to start the day. Good check in on whether we remember how to extend patterns and name them! @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Day 10 of the #decembermathchallenge students used centicubes to represent their mittens to help them figure out all the ways they could pull out 3 mittens. @tvdsbmathk8

Day 9 of the #decembermathchallenge with coding a student getting ready to go outside in the winter! Lots of discussions and deciding whether they should put boots on before or after the jacket. @tvdsbmathk8

Day 8 of the #decembermathchallenge and students had a great time using our GOOS paper to attempt the one-punch designs. Many finished the first two but so far no correct "spicy" attempts! @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Day seven of the #decembermathchallenge. Some students had a different number on each step until the end, but two had the correct number from the very start! Watching them think through their estimations step by step was awesome! @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Day 6 of the #decembermathchallenge. Students were asked "how many?" and given ten minutes to decide how many of everything they could find in the picture. It was fun deciding how many there were of everything as we consolidated at the end! @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Day five of the #decembermathchallenge had students figuring out the mobile math question on the screen and then creating their own to see who can solve it. So much fun! @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Day 4 of the #decembermathchallenge had us figuring out how much colder it needed to be in our classroom to make a polar bear feel comfortable. Students came up with great, reasonable answers and explanations! @TVDSBmath @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Third day of the #decembermathchallenge and my students went to work creating pattern block snowflakes. I am loving the math talks that have been happening so far and students are so excited to see what each challenge will be. @tvdsbmathk8 @WilfridJuryPS

Day two of the #decembermathchallenge in grade 3. Lots of great conversations about why different snowmen might not belong #tvdsbmathk8

First day of #decembermathchallenge in grade 3 yesterday! Lots of great thinking about how to get to the correct answer! @tvdsbmathk8
