Thanks grade 6s for the informative announcements this morning and having us look for phantom energy suckers today. Mrs. Lloyd (she/her) Ms.Aucoin #greenschoolsNS

Great to encourage reasoning and not random guesses! It reminds me a bit of Marilyn Burns’ 3 Strikes but that’s more wheel of fortune for math :) #HRCEmath

We’re rooting for you here in Cole Harbour Nathan! Go get the cup! We know you can do it! Colorado Avalanche @coleharbour

Exciting news! Numberless Word Problems have a new home. Come visit! numberlesswp.com #NumberlessWP #ElemMathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath

The amazing 5/6 team @HarbourViewElem working hard to create a warm up and extension activity to encourage teamwork and assess prior knowledge! #luckystudents Mrs. Lloyd (she/her) Ms.Aucoin

New group member was ready to work hard today! @HarbourViewElem #hrcemath

Looking forward to the NSMTA conference next month. Would love to read this beforehand.

Look what our AMAZING local bookstore Tattletales Books now has in stock! #HRCEmath Nat Banting

Ss loving this great Dollarstore find. Adding a cumulative amount, strategy on which amount to play or which special card to use, and of course lots of fun! Wishing I had picked up several more boxes for a full class set. @HarbourViewElem #HRCEmath

Can’t wait to try Team Wipebook with my small groups on Tuesday. #vnps

Students loved getting active to recognize and solve 1 apart facts during our fluency block in 2/3 msblakeney today. Using the number line to explain thinking was a great visual! @HarbourViewElem #HRCEmath

So excited to get to school to see our Argentinian student. How excited he must be right now! @HarbourViewElem FIFA World Cup

Seems like a fun challenge on the last day of school and instead of calling it a 10 digit number, if you call it a string of 10 numbers, it can be used for lower grades too. Mrs. Lloyd (she/her) Ms.Aucoin

I work with the best of the best! Mrs. Lloyd (she/her) thank you so much for your generosity! I love it! Have a terrific break everyone. It is well deserved! @HRCEmath @HarbourViewElem

“The way in which fluency is taught either supports equitable learning or prevents it. Effective teaching of procedural fluency positions students as capable, with reasoning and decision-making at the core of instruction. When such teaching is in place, students stop asking…”

So many great things to quote- so I’m just going to suggest reading the entire thing yourself. After completing provincial assessments a short month ago, this is a refreshing way to assess that aligns with best practice.

So exciting when the grant gets approved and you get to unwrap all of the amazing new tools you were able to purchase. Can’t wait to get these into the hands of our amazing P-2 students! Nat Banting NS Teachers Union Halifax Regional Centre for Education @HarbourViewElem
