Using growing sea creatures to consolidate some of our learning about measurement. How can we measure these creatures? How large will they become? Ss collaborated to explore, question, experiment and estimate. Now to watch them grow! #mathisfun #mathchat

Looking forward to presenting GECDSB’s work in relation to critical transitions in Early Math at the MKN conference in Kingston tomorrow with this amazing team. #gecdsbproud @MlleParaschak Mrs. Kathy Freeman

Thanks to Mrs. Kathy Freeman Deanna McLennan Ph.D for sharing about your experience in coding with students! #etfopley

Coding in the gym or even take it outside! Big body movement! #etfopley #kindercoding Deanna McLennan Ph.D Mrs. Kathy Freeman

Coding with straws and connectors! Wonderful ideas for some of our older materials hiding in our cupboards! Thank you! Deanna McLennan Ph.D & Mrs. Kathy Freeman #etfopley

Great connections with coding activities! Supporting me with more creativity and innovative thinking using templates such as a tens frame, 100’s grid! Thanks Deanna McLennan Ph.D Mrs. Kathy Freeman #etfopley

Look who won the door prize! Such as great session Deanna McLennan Ph.D @MrsFreeman_Gr1! #etfopley #tvdsbkinder

Thank you so much Deanna McLennan Ph.D and Mrs. Kathy Freeman for an amazing session on Creating Stories and Games! I've learned so much! Can't wait to try out some of these activities with my kinders! Thank you!!

What a fantastic experience to have presented #Coding Stories and Games at #ETFO #Kindergarten conference. Always a pleasure to present with Deanna McLennan Ph.D! Our presentation is posted on her blog. x.com/mclennan1977/s…

“Drawing is so important in mathematics.” Learning how to engage young children in sophisticated mathematics with Dr. Nathalie Sinclair Simon Fraser University #ETFOpley

“Let them count on their fingers.” Powerful reminders from Dr. Nathalie Sinclair, to allow children to use all modalities while developing deep mathematical understanding. Einstein counted on his fingers! @sfu #ETFOpley

Looking forward to unpacking more spatial reasoning understanding with Kristy Penlington ☮️, 🍃Kristin W.🌿 and Mrs DT #ETFOpley

Great spatial reasoning learning, ideas, examples and next steps. Our young learners are capable and competent. Leaving inspired! Thank you Kristy Penlington ☮️, 🍃Kristin W.🌿 and Mrs DT #ETFOpley

How can we use number paths to help children develop their mathematical understanding? Looking forward to some great learning with Karen Doupe and Sarah Sacksen! #ETFOpley

So many fantastic number path and number line activities presented by Karen Doupe and Sarah Sacksen. Excited to use many next week with my Ss! #ETFOpley Great inspiration!

Fantastic weekend of growth and learning at Elementary Educators Playful Learning in the Early Years conference. Always a pleasure to travel and work with Deanna McLennan Ph.D. Crazy journey home through #ONstorm #noflights

Playing Guess My Number with a #numberpath. Ss used great mathematical language to describe and compare different numbers by giving clues. “This number is only the top row of a ten frame filled in, so it is half of ten!” Awesome inspiration from Karen Doupe and Sarah Sacksen!
