@Mathgarden We need your help on #albertsinsomnia! Our numbers are: 10, 4, 5, 3 and we are stuck on 68! Thank you!

@Mathgarden I know it has been awhile - but my class is stumped again with Albert’s Insomnia! Can you get 46 with the numbers: 12, 3, 9, 5? Thanks for all your help!

Yesterday we had our @cardinalhealth representative come do a STEAM challenge in the #brnsteamroom ! The kiddos used 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 yd of string, 1 yd of tape, and 1 marshmallow to build the tallest tower. Thanks to @MrDHilliardTech ! @BRN_Elementary

The #brntechsquad met today to make commercials about the amazing robots we have available for classrooms to utilize @BRN_Elementary - They highlighted the @Sphero Mini, @Ozobot , @WonderWorkshop #DashandDot, and the @PlayOsmo - We can’t wait to share these commercials!

We are taking our Unit 3 Math Test today on @Edulastic but of course, there’s a twist! Our first question is a group work question, so the kiddos can share their thinking and ask questions if they need to. The rest will be independent. #iteachmath @BRN_Elementary @BaileyJodie

@Mathgarden @AlbertsInsomnia @BRN_Elementary Wow! You are good! I will share with my kiddos. Thank you!

@MsBortolani @AlbertsInsomnia @BRN_Elementary (sq. rt 4)^(12 - 7)

Our #mathrecessclub was stumped again by @AlbertsInsomnia - we used factorials and exponents this time and still couldn’t come up with 32 using 4, 7, 7, and 12... can anyone else? #iteachmath @BRN_Elementary @Mathgarden

@AlbertsInsomnia @BRN_Elementary @Mathgarden Whoops! It was actually 32 we got stuck on! Thanks for your quick reply!

What is happening INSIDE our devices? Today, @MrDHilliardTech & our @cardinalhealth rep came to help us figure this out! We took apart laptops, printers, epsom lightbulbs, etc to see what was inside! It was so fun and we have tons of questions! @BRN_Elementary #brnbears

We chose our “One Word”s for 2020 and used the @Ozobot to trace them! The challenge was to get from the start of their words and make it to the end using the color codes! @BRN_Elementary #brnbears #brnbearscode

Yes! Thank you so much for your help! Can’t wait to show the kiddos so we can keep going!

We’ve been stumped! Can anyone find 47 using the numbers 3, 5, 11, and 2 once and any operation (including exponents)? #iteachmath #mathrecessclub @AlbertsInsomnia @Mathgarden

We are playing @AlbertsInsomnia today for our Math Chat! The kiddos LOVED it and came up with so many equations! @BRN_Elementary @Mathgarden #iteachmath

The #brntechsquad learned all about the @PlayOsmo and how to use them. They are ready to come into classrooms @BRN_Elementary to support teachers in using them! Love their passion for tech!

We had our very first #mathrecess curious cubs club today! Math CAN be fun! #primeclimb @MathforLove #quixo #zoom @Mathgarden @BRN_Elementary

These were awesome and I am so proud too! Thanks for all your hard work @BRNgrade5fun !

We had a few representatives from @cardinalhealth come present for #futureyou about their careers in IT! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us @BRN_Elementary @3mrsbrown @KatiLMiller

“FALL into Learning” was a blast! Family dinner from @Romeospizza, bounces houses, and sessions led by our very own @BRN_Elementary teachers! SEL, R-Factor, literacy, math,and healthy food choices! We kicked off our evening with @SharonEsswein sharing her literacy expertise!

What an AWESOME way to end this session of #curiouscubs @BRN_Elementary! @MsBortolani and I combined our game clubs to show off the cooperative skills, strategy, and problem solving they’ve developed 🙌🏼🙌🏼

We have started building our “Class Pets” - our robots from @JIMURobot ! In 5th Grade, we have a TankBot, a PenguinBot, and a UnicornBot! It will take us a few weeks, but I can’t wait to see all the amazing things the kiddos do with them @BRN_Elementary #brnbears #brnbearscode
