@mr_stadel helps to explain what the difference is between a “guess” & and “estimate”. @SunriseSDMB
Robert Kaplinsky@robertkaplinsky
I had never truly understood the difference between a guess and an estimate until @mr_stadel broke it down using the context of a ketchup bottle. Check it out so you understand too: mr-stadel.blogspot.com/2015/05/ketchu… #iteachmath

These WIM activities NEED to be a part of what you plan to do with Ss early in the year. They help to create a numeracy environment where Ss will thrive and they reinforce what is valued in your numeracy classroom @SunriseSDMB

It’s National French Fry Day! Which is your favourite? Check out the link for several interesting graphics for data analysis & interpretation with Ss. These would lead to some interesting predictions, discoveries & mathematical conversations! @SunriseSDMB foodmanufacturing.com/consumer-trend…

Another fantastic resource to support the development of BTC! @SunriseSDMB

The @BTCthinks team are excited to unveil the new buildingthinkingclassrooms.com site. You'll find it full of new information on BTC, books, thinking tasks, research, events, consulting, merchandise and more! We hope the site is valuable to the #buildingthinkingclassrooms community. 1/2

The @BTCthinks approach was alive & well Grade 4 while Ss worked through mild, medium & spicy problems involving Canadian Coins found in their Math Tool Kits! Ss are asking for vertical, non-permanent surfaces & random group opportunities more often! @SunriseSDMB @pgliljedahl

In Grade 2, Ss explored a @gfletchy 3-Act Math Task exploring balance & equality. So cool to see balance scales, pattern blocks, white boards and more to represent Ss mathematical thinking & persevere through struggle productively while trying to find many solutions @SunriseSDMB
English
Also in Gr 4, Ss shared a very high level of mathematical discourse while talking their way through their thinking in the “Mystery Box” warm up routine by @SteveWyborney I through a couple of “twists” their way on the fly and Ss responded very well (100 became 82) @SunriseSDMB
English
In Grade 4, Math Workshop allows Ss to work in small groups doing various jobs. The teacher is a station which allows her the opportunity to provide small group instruction to Ss who have a similar need! @SunriseSDMB
English
In Grade 5, Ss shared a game they have been playing that focuses on place value, probability & rational numbers (decimals) ALL Ss have learned to accurately read or “say” rational numbers while creating values in hopes of trying to beat their teacher!
English
Numeracy Residency walk thrus continue to allow Ts the opportunity to showcase some learning they have transformed into their regular teaching practice. It is very rewarding to see Ss responding so well. Engagement & thinking opportunities through problem solving! @SunriseSDMB

Always enjoy seeing Math learning being showcased and made visible on bulletin board displays. Here are a couple of the ones I saw today in one of our schools… @SunriseSDMB

Another great way to make Ss think… what other ideas might there be to create additional thinking opportunities? @SunriseSDMB @fawnpnguyen @gfletchy @robertkaplinsky @pgliljedahl

Math. Teams of 3 decide on items to total 24 hours. Calculate cost and calories. The team with the highest ratio of hours-to-calories-to-cost gets a coupon for free fries at McDonald's.

How long g would you have to spend in McDonalds? How are you eating your way out early? Very cool idea! @SunriseSDMB

This feels like a fun problem to explore! #thinking classrooms

Immersed in Grade 12 Provincial Exam marking! Great information sharing from our Ts that attended provincial training and fantastic discussion around student work! @SunriseSDMB

There are so many numbers to dig into in sport. For the upcoming Stanley Cup Final, how far with the teams travel if the series goes 4 games? 5? 6? 7? If the flight take 5 hours 36 minutes, how long will they spend in the airplane over a 4, 5, 6 or 7 game series? @SunriseSDMB
