It’s CERTAIN we had fun today in Math! 7th graders placed Values in multiple representations along with words associated w/ probability! Event cards were sorted on a number line according to likeliness of occcuring! Clinton Sch District #fluency #MP2 #MP6
6th graders having been working on plotting points on a coordinate grid and using a number line to compare values in multiple representations! Pictures coming tomorrow! Clinton Sch District #perseverance #attendtoprecision
As promised- pictures of 6th graders and their hard work and precision! CMS Cardinals Clinton Sch District
7th graders must be able to...represent probability on a number line between 0 and 1! Quiz tomorrow! Find Someone Who Can... CMS Cardinals #engageny #errorsunlikely #equalvalues
6th graders practiced and checked for understanding by completing a Mad Lib! Some were harder than others! Quiz tomorrow CMS Cardinals #feedback #simplify #numberlines #equalvalues
Quick Images in 7th grade math! Estimating %! #formativeassessment #benchmarks #quickimages #highyieldroutines #NCTM CMS Cardinals
Making big progress! Ordering Rational numbers from least to greatest in ALL representations! Looking for equivalencies! #fluency CMS Cardinals
These problems were difficult for 6th grade last week! What makes them tricky? Ex 1: 2/8 is not one of the choices! Ex 2: number line is from 4-6 so it appears it’s tenths. The answer was in decimal form. #nextsteps #equalvalues CMS Cardinals
Last week 7th graders played Roller Derby and predicted the sum of 2 dice. Do you think some sums are more likely than others? 18 cubes 18 rolls ... students got better with their predictions CMS Cardinals #theoreticalprobablility #experimentalprobability
6th grade working on equivalent fractions and decimals! 1) Place Value and simplifying fractions. Common misunderstandings 45/90 ➡️0.45 (does not equal 45/100) 2) Compare 1/4 and 0.3! CMS Cardinals
6th grade intro to integers! We played integer war to practice comparing negatives and positives! Highest Value wins! Why is -3 > -8? 🤔 CMS Cardinals #Critiquereasoningofothers #MP3
7th grade completed a scavenger hunt to practice theoretical and experimental probability and make predictions! This Formative Assessment process allows me to check for misunderstandings before the quiz! CMS Cardinals #numbersense
7th graders compared theoretical and experimental probability using tree diagrams to determine sample space! Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot! Flipping R/Y Chips! CMS Cardinals #MP4
Got behind in posts! Last week 6th Ss passed the envelope and checked their understanding with Least Common Multiples. When will the Ferris Wheels meet at the bottom again? #iteachmath #CMP CMS Cardinals
At the start of the unit 7th graders given a decision of items to buy... which is better deal? $20 off or 20% off? Card sort made formative assessment process easy! Good discussion! #3acttasks CMS Cardinals #iteachmath
This is what it’s about! There has to be a balance from worksheets and websites! Clinton Sch District #sendinglove
This is me! I research & analyze what’s best for Ss to access the concept throughout the year! #perfectionist However, I vow to not be perfect & plan to provide work that is doable In < 30 min. #lessismore CMS Cardinals #theresnocryinginmath
