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

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. tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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 tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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! tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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! tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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! tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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! tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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. tvdsbmath

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. tvdsbmath

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! tvdsbmath Wilfrid Jury PS

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 tvdsbmath

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! tvdsbmath

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