Today, North York @TDSB teachers reflected on the shift in math instruction over the years. We agreed: it is our responsibility to honour the various strategies & knowledge students bring with them. A very positive Day 1 of Building Foundational Math Skills! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) TDSB Mathematics & Numeracy

Such a great learning experience! Can’t wait to start implementing strategies into the classroom and share with other teachers!

Grateful for the opportunity to start the Patterns to Algebra work in Ms. Trinh’s Gr. 2/3 class Stanley Public School. Students naturally shifting from additive to multiplicative ways of seeing patterns: such great learning for us all!

Three ways we can think about fraction division:

Late post, but had an amazing learning session with Dr. Ruth Beatty π on progression from patterning to algebra. Easy strategies that can be used from elementary to high school!

Gr. 2&3s Stanley Public School & FlemingtonPS: Amazing how naturally multiplication happens with the help of growing patterns. 'Wow!' moments when students only take a few seconds to figure out the number of items in the 100th term! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Mervi Salo Lisa Dilworth Liz Holder

Day 4 #Fractions PD ЦООГИЙ North York Cluster. Teachers showed genuine collaboration & great determination to “unlock” multiplication and division by using visual representations. Thank you for joining us on this amazing math journey! TDSB Mathematics & Numeracy Mervi Salo Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth

A math-filled week: starting with a co-taught lesson to my former Ss, now in Gr. 6 Oakdale Park Middle School & continuing with great problem solving, deciphering pattern rules & playing Salute! Students’ engagement & enthusiasm: simply impressive! TDSB Mathematics & Numeracy Mervi Salo Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth

Such a pleasure to work together with all of my Topcliff PS partner teachers and their students! A space where everyone is enthusiastic for new learning and always eager to do #math! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Mervi Salo Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth

Students @TDSB Ancaster PS & Sheppard PS enjoy collaborating with their friends when finding solutions to various types of problems. Even just a bit of planning time with the teachers has made a big difference in our work! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Mervi Salo Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth

THANK YOU @TDSB North York teachers for engaging in today's math activities & games & the genuine conversations around the importance of building #math skills starting in the early years! A great way to slide into the Winter Holidays❄️ Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Mervi Salo Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth

So impressed by the Gr. 2s Toronto District School Board Lamberton PS! Today, they told me that the triangle is the polygon with the least number of sides, 3. And all these names come from Greek! Here they are, constructing polygons with pattern blocks. Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth

First thing in the morning today: Gr. 3/4s Stanley Public School worked on solving problems and used Constant Difference to subtract numbers! So so proud of these kids!👏 Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth Mervi Salo

Valuable learning Topcliff PS PLC: Teachers & Admin observed a Gr. 3 class & reflected on lesson parts & #math environment & compiled elements to improve their math program. Ss’ engagement while solving & creating problems: Amazing! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Liz Holder Lisa Dilworth Mervi Salo

Constructive teacher conversations around multiple entry points @ Day 1 of Building Foundational #Math Skills in the Early Years. A very special Thank You to Gosford PS staff & students for hosting us in their beautiful library! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Liz Holder Mervi Salo Lisa Dilworth

Every time there’s been an A-ha moment, an understanding of the #math concept as a result of work with concrete objects, I thought of Maria #Montessori’s belief from almost 100 years ago: a child’s “hand activities” and “psychological development” are so closely entwined.

Gr. 4/5s @TDSB Flemington PS practised equipartitioning a length w/ the Unit #Fractions Paper Strips task. This hands-on activity was engaging and super fun for all students & a great assessment opportunity for the teacher! Mervi Salo Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Liz Holder

Despite the winter today, teachers in North York Toronto District School Board had an energy-filled Day 2 Building Foundational #Math Skills! We analyzed the lasting usefulness of Up & Over 10 & Constant Difference & played games to promote (+/-) strategies.

The double number line: quite "popular" among the Toronto District School Board Gr. 3 students. An effective visual tool to help solve multiplication, division and ratio-related #math problems! Jason To is chillin’ on BlueSky (@mrjasonto.com) Mervi Salo Liz Holder TDSB Mathematics & Numeracy
