"I see it a lot in even the science of tanning buffalo hide. I see it in the beading, the mathematics of the beading. I see it in the star blanket. The symmetry and geometry of the star blanket, the way it's designed," said Dawn Pratt. cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

A reminder for our wonderful members of staff, and our students and families, as we set to embark on a new school year. We’ve got you!

The first things to go up on this board today in our discussion about #gradeless assessment were exams and tests. Food for thought. I related to “studying.” Studying for me was ALWAYS short term memorization of information.

In a math class today with a teacher who is pro at creating relationships with Ss. Used 1/3 of time to just talk with them Me: Aren’t you worried about falling behind in content T: I fall behind now so they work hard for me later #buildrelationships #wrdsbmath #thinkingclassrooms

We need to take care of one another. Please share.

An inspiring presentation today by Todd Whitaker for Superintendent’s Conference Day! “What do great people do differently?” Have a willingness to be vulnerable and ask questions. “Am I going to protect my ego or am I going to perfect my skills?” #dpsdny 🐝😁

Hey OCDSB #MTH1W teachers: are you planning to provide access to Desmos, Mathigon, or other virtual manipulatives/graphing calculators? I don’t know if this would be possible in Kiosk Mode from a chromebook.

Had a major win today in #MTH1W! Using techniques from Peter Liljedahl’s thinking classroom, my Grade 9s were able to come up with a formula for slope in their groups!

Barbie bungee in #MTH1W! Collecting data then extrapolating to predict the number of elastics needed to give Barbie a safe yet thrilling ride from 5.5m!
