Paper Clip Olympics: Long Jump. We are practicing taking measurements, making line plots, applying knowledge of equivalent fractions and having a good amount of fun shooting paper clips. #wds1819

5th graders playing Mathematical Run and quickly realizing that this simple game requires you to maintain your attention constantly and that there is always room to improve. Building executive functioning. #wds1819

Kindergarten students practicing accurate counting by constructing figures with snap cubes. #wds1819 #gcpride

New game: Hundred Chart Treasure Hunt. We are practicing adding a multiple of 10 to a 2-digit number. It was a hit and the kids want it to be in our rotation of games. #wds1920 #gcpride

This 5th grader is using Microsoft Excel to represent the Account Balances problem from Math Forum PreAlgPoW. We learned that you had better take an estimate when applying formulas or you may not be conscious of an error. #wds1920

Just a warning XtraMath | Math Fact Fluency; these students will be earning their certificate for fact mastery soon. We just wanted to celebrate the growth they are making on the way to mastery. #wds1819 #gcpride

Kindergarteners sharpening up their 1:1 correspondence and count sequence by moving some baby worms down the hexagon sidewalk. Fun on a rainy day. #wds1819

A great group of kindergarten students doing their first Steve Wyborney splats. They can’t get enough! #wds1920

Regardless of how high #preschoolers can rote count, a child’s sense of what those numbers actually mean develops gradually. We call this understanding NUMBER SENSE, and it requires relating numbers to real quantities. More: earlymath.erikson.edu/many-ways-to-s…

Today the kindergarten students played More/Less Memory. They turn over a cup, count the cubes and then find another cup that has either more or less than that. #wds1920 #gcpride

10 Pin Limbo from Greg Tang is a great way to start the day! We are sharpening up our basic facts and ability to decompose numbers. #wds1920 #gcpride gregtangmath.com/includes/mater…

Kids who meet their learning goals get a “brag” phone call home. Hopefully this particular 4th grader gets spoiled tonight. #wds1920 #gcpride

2nd graders practice counting by 10s as they toss 10s rods in a bucket. The scorekeepers highlight the 10s on the 100s chart. Crazy fun in math today. The next round we tossed dimes. #wds1920 #gcpride

The GC Walt Disney Elementary School STEM Club hard at work building toys. Measuring, cutting, hammering and learning how to work with other people. #gcpride #wds1920

The GC Walt Disney Elementary School STEM Club making some creative toys while exploring linkages. Dare I say “more cowbell!”#wds1920 #gcpride

Playing “Pass The Pigs” with the GC Walt Disney Elementary School game club and having a blast. #wds1920 #gcpride

Exploring forces with some clever K-FIT students. Pushes, pulls, and magnets. #wds1920 #gcpride

These GC Walt Disney Elementary School 3rd graders are taking The Locker Game problem from Illustrative Mathematics very seriously. They have revised their approach to solving the problem 3 times and have not been discouraged. #wds1920 #gcpride

The GC Walt Disney Elementary School STEM Club has experimented with different linkages. Now they are starting to design their toys. Lots of great teamwork. #gcpride #wds1920

It was a chilly and windy day, but we found a fun way to practice multiplication facts. Could be adapted for division, addition or subtraction easily. #wds1920 #gcpride
