Hmmm, I wonder how many numbers work?

“To simplify is to say something quicker. Period.” Wisdom from Marian Small

started out as a #mathology lesson on interpreting graphs in gr1 turned into a ‘whole-body Doug Duff inspired-magic-line’ to listen to Ss understanding about ‘more,less than + the same’ of bar graphs + strategies to prove-so much Ts learning and thinking @PeelEngageMath Ryan Tackaberry

But were there Doug Duff inspired “technical math sounds”?

I wish I had captured today’s session on video to reflect the energy and excitement of our educators as they explored Math Up Gordon Graydon Sr PS @PeelEngageMath We also had time to self-reflect and plan next steps. I’m so inspired by the collaborative learning of our team❤️❤️❤️

I love the connection to Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, especially characteristic 5: “Deep knowledge of your students.”

Number tasks for my daughters today inspired by Marian Small, Stella: The product of two numbers is about 50, what are the factors? Isla: I have three coins in my pocket, how much money might I have?

Working on mastering math facts today, multiplication for Stella using Kamii’s 4-in-a-Row and doubling for Isla using New Perspectives on Learning Doubles Bingo. Yep, those are homemade boards and materials.

On to problem solving. Stella: What numbers can you divide by three so there is a remainder of one? Isla’s from Marilyn Burns: A collection of animals has 16 legs, what animals could they be?

Playing “Go Fish 10” with Isla. Talked about the switcheroo (commutative property), 8+2=2+8 and made other true statements like 1+9=4+6 and 5+5=3+7 while exploring equality.

Followed up my chat with Isla about equality by playing some Van de Walle inspired “True or False?”

My guests, shannon green & Vickita share the benefits of going gradeless: True ed equity, social justice, less anxiety, no cheating & growth mentality. They give practical tips & tools for how to do it. Includes shout out to Jesse Stommel #ungrading overthrowingeducation.libsyn.com/going-gradeles…

Check out the new math curriculum at Ontario.ca/curriculum #onted I know that there were some very good people working behind the scenes to make this as relevant and research-based as possible (and beyond the political rhetoric). Thanks to them for their efforts!
