Can’t wait for the kids to investigate and explore this display!

What’s different? What’s the same? Great questions to ask about how a quantity is structured. In this case A different ways of structuring 10 so we can look and think and know how many #EMC3 #structureofnumber @CatholicEdParra

Day 1 of the K-2 Sequences! So excited to be back here again with some of our new teachers!

Know your learner. What is productive struggle for your students?

PRAYER LAUNCH! Year 1 students rotated through 6 different prayerful experience for our launch. We sang songs, mediated, wrote a prayer, reflected on images of prayer and watched ‘a phone call to God.’ Thank you to @anne_easton for leading a session!

@SiobhanBoje Enjoying a glass of wine after a day of celebrating the journey of the k-2 teachers!

Acknowledging the importance of looking after ourselves at this busy time of year by running a staff #takingcareofmyselfie comp at school. 1st prize is a massage! Have been loving the pics coming in. What are you doing to take care of yourself this weekend? #stmb1

"A good writer writes for their audience, not for themselves." Stage 3 was thrilled to have Australia's very own Jackie French to share advice on writing and reading. She spoke about her own challenges as a writer and how she overcame them to pursue her passion as a writer.

Teachers analysing the Common Grade Scale. What is sound achievement? What patterns can I see across all grades? What does “sound” actually mean? @NatashaPullen @SiobhanBoje @lbadd12 @SoSueSays @DeborahJaneCox1 @K_reynolds2

@SoSueSays @StMichaels2148 @ecarrington13 @gcaleta Was such an awesome rich day, so much to take in, think about and move forward with. Thanks for the opportunity @SoSueSays and thanks for leading us @ecarrington13 @gcaleta. Time to look at working mathematically with a new clearer lens

Today our Stage 3 Teachers spent the day working on the process of moderation. Rich discussions were had around what sound achievement for Working Mathematically should look like. The power is in the conversation! @lbadd12 @maryroseestepa @SiobhanBoje @LarissaPrested @gcaleta

Getting ready for an exciting day of filming maths teaching and learning with challenging tasks at St Michael’s Blacktown. I’m so fortunate to be working with such dedicated teachers! @StMichaels2148 @CatholicEdParra @NumeracyNow @surfmaths @SoSueSays

Kindergarten @StMichaels2148 exploring problems thinking about numbers that are more than 10 and less than 20. How can we look, think and know what our number is without counting? #reasoning @CatholicEdParra @SoSueSays @K_reynolds2 @ecarrington13 @janettebobis @barbmchugh1

Year 1 @StMichaels2148 reasoning through exploring a 2D shape challenging task that connected beautifully to multiplicative thinking.Students noticed patterns as they made chevrons from trapeziums. #EPMC3 @CatholicEdParra @NumeracyNow @SoSueSays @K_reynolds2 @ecarrington13

Today was a great opportunity to reflect on the deep learning that both K-2 teachers and students @StMichaels2148 have engaged in this year in Mathematics @NumeracyNow @CatholicEdParra @SoSueSays

It was so rewarding to stop and reflect on how far not only the students but us as teachers have grown since beginning the K-2 sequences. Looking forward to sharing this journey with others 📚 @gcaleta @ecarrington13
