New grade ….new school year ….amazing students = lots of fun learning with choral counting! When we choral count, students are finding patterns, adding to each other’s ideas, decomposing fractions, adding and subtracting fractions and so much more. Amazing!

Counting collection Friday’s! So much fun learning and collaborating. It’s amazing to listen to them discuss how they will be organizing and then come up with equations to show their thinking.

Today my mathematicians were able to make connections between choral counting by fractions and decimals. There was so much discussion, connections, they created equations, and decomposed to figure it out. So much fun #choralcounting

My students were able to make this magic happen!!! Choral counted by 47 and all mental math. It took lots of discussion, think time, but this choral count was amazing. Students shared they loved being able to take the time to solve mentally. Giving students time to think!

Todays mathematical 🤔!! Number story was Luna drank ___liters of water during robotics and ___liters on her way to Folklorico. How much water did Luna drink? Look at some of their thinking UCLA Math Project Euclid Avenue Elementary School

It’s amazing to watch how a short choral count could lead to such rich conversation. We couldn’t continue the count being students took it a different direction …to a number line. Letting students take charge is simply the best!!! Let’s see what they come up with next!

It is simply amazing to listen to students mathematical thinking. Math that makes sense to students. Students becoming teachers. UCLA Math Project Euclid Avenue Elementary School Boyle Heights Community of Schools

Student mathematical thinking! Using strategies that work for us. Listen to this amazing student who not only shares her thinking but provides others another strategy to add to their tool bank. Euclid Avenue Elementary School Boyle Heights Community of Schools UCLA Math Project

Don’t you just love 💗 when math makes sense to kids? This student thought about friendly numbers, tried something with cents then realized it could be more. It’s amazing work! Boyle Heights Community of Schools Euclid Avenue Elementary School

Our choral count was filled w/ vocabulary and so much conversation. Ss were able to create their own number stories connected to our count. Post it shows students asking to revise thinking as they noticed mistakes. Mistakes are part of learning! Boyle Heights Community of Schools Euclid Avenue Elementary School

🎉Congratulations to #GarfieldHighSchool’s #FirstEver Boys Basketball CIF City Section Division Championship! #HistoryWasMade 🏀🏆

I simply love when students are mind blown when they find a strategy that works for them. Division could be hard when you don’t conceptually understand it. Look at these students’ thinking. UCLA Math Project

This choral count brought so much mathematical conversations. Ss noticed patterns that even I had not. Look at the last column. One student noticed that going down it’s adding 200 but the tens place is half of the hundreds. When they tried the next one it worked! UCLA Math Project

My kinder mathematicians at the beginning of the school year working collaboratively with number stories. UCLA Math Project

In kinder students are working collaboratively in small groups and after get an opportunity to show their independent learning. They love ❤️ math! UCLA Math Project Euclid Avenue Elementary School

Kínder students always ready to show their mathematical thinking. Euclid Avenue Elementary School UCLA Math Project

In kinder students are working collaboratively in small groups not only to solve a number story but to support each other as a team!! UCLA Math Project Boyle Heights Community of Schools

More number story small group samples! Dual language Kinder mathematicians are always ready for the challenge. UCLA Math Project Boyle Heights Community of Schools
