This week Ss created challenges using only the digits: 1, 2, 5, & 8. Today’s big questions - What is the largest even number we can make? How many numbers can we make with 8 in the ones place? Ss compared the results with an investigation of 5 in the thousands place. Are they =?

Students playing strategy games together to end the week. No dice, no cards, no spinners. Last week Abalone, this week Quoridor. Encouraging community, logical thinking, and fun! #GrowWithGrafflin #WeAreChappaqua

Ss created their own four-digit pattern problems on index cards. Two numbers given to discern the pattern, two blanks to fill in. Then Ss tried to rank the cards by difficulty, 1-5, first individually, then by committee. Finally, we discussed a disagreement as a class. Is it a 5?

Students use our new table size white boards for the first time - which situations require exact answers and which ones are better estimated? #growwithgrafflin #wearechappaqua

Four questions students can ask of any math situation: 1. What do you notice? 2. Does it require exact or estimate? 3. What can you visualize? 4. What can you figure out mentally? #growwithgrafflin #wearechappaqua

Collaboration - Optimism - Visualization - Experimentation - Reflection (COVER dispositions figure prominently in the Bell STEAM Center) #COVER Bobby Bell

I'm taken by the passion shown at successfully completing a self-created challenge (directing a Sphero Mini through cardboard tubes they found in the Bell STEAM Center) Sphero Education Bobby Bell

Sphero Mini Mini-Golf! Students constructed and played mini-golf holes using two robots. Each hole had moving features courtesy of Hummingbird Kits. Ss then tried to solve the holes by coding Sphero Minis. Sphero Education BirdBrain Technologies Bobby Bell #REBellTone

Watch this video of Sphero Mini Mini-Golf (with two robots)! It shows the wonderfully varied designs Ss made using Hummingbird Kits. Plus their engagement in trying to solve each other mini-golf holes by coding Sphero Minis. Sphero Education BirdBrain Technologies Bobby Bell #REBellTone

Fifth grade students designed and 3D printed backpack tags, most of them using TinkerCad for the first time. Look at the wonderful variety of the designs! Bobby Bell #REBellTone

Last school day of 2023: time to code and play some Sphero Pong (including with our head custodian Mr. Possante). #spheroedu #REBellTone Bobby Bell Laurie Ende

6th grade students first use Scratch to model the future effects of rising sea levels on a chosen coastal city. Then they research and construct potential options for protecting those cities. Scratch Team Bobby Bell

Señor Sphero! Español students first practice coding to move the robot around una villa (chair). They then use a green screen to tour Señor around a pretend classroom. Finally, using iMovie, they describe the robot's adventures using Español. Srta Murphy
