Our K-6 @novivirtual students had a wonderful time being introduced to our new games: Courtesy of a grant from @NoviEdFound They had fun doing math while taking turns, following directions, and planning strategies! Thank you NEF!

I captured this @novivirtual student’s work on @Blocksi1 today. They made their own @MathigonOrg Polypad to help figure out fractional amounts in a figure. Love it! @NCSD

So much awesome student talk and engagement at our @novivirtual in person day! Fraction talks with pattern blocks, playing 24 factors/multiples and Genius Star, collecting cultures to look for bacteria…and that was just before lunch! Lots of smiles!

Snapshot of S’s work below finding equiv fractions to 2/3, ā€œ Know what I noticed?! The thirds were multiplied by 5 to get 15ths and the 2 was multiplied by 5 to get 10! It’s 10/15!ā€ @MathigonOrg @novivirtual

I know I’ve seen a lovely multiplication chart built from arrays posted on #mathtwitter but I can’t locate it. Anyone have what I’m looking for? @MathigonOrg @MathforLove @TimBrzezinski @davidporas
