Today we played a few rounds of “Geometry Tic-Tac-Toe” to review vocabulary. Ss had to write down something they know about the different vocabulary terms before playing their piece. Games = Instant engagement! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily #pirateinnovation

Hey, math teachers...give the kids the answers. No, seriously. Do it! Your students can handle it. At the end of the day, it’s about the process, not the answer. @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily @lcp_it #pirateinnovation @AppleEDU

Things got pretty gross today in 5th grade! We had so much fun converting measurements to help us make some pretty tough decisions. @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily @lcp_it #pirateinnovation @SlidesManiaSM

Last week was all about representing multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. After we modeled some problems using pattern blocks, we played this great partner game from @MathCoachCorner to really solidify our learning. @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily

This week we reviewed financial literacy terms with a snowball fight! I printed words on half of the pages and definitions on the other half. After, Ss raced the clock to find matches. Simple, active, and fun! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily #pirateinnovation

Last week in 5th we practiced graphing on a coordinate plane by coding our Dash robots to travel to different coordinates on our learning carpet. Fun and learning was had by all! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily @lcp_it #pirateinnovation @WonderWorkshop

Today we kicked off our Coordinate Plane unit by reading “The Fly on the Ceiling”, a math myth about the creation of the Cartesian System by Rene Descartes. Then we plotted ordered pairs from the story on our Learning Carpet. So much fun! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper

Another day, another @numbertalks This is truly my favorite time in our math block, and I know my students would agree. We are becoming stronger mathematicians as we learn from one another every day! @LCISDeast #EEpirates #numbertalks #pirateinnovation

Today we reviewed decimal concepts after a long three day weekend. Sometimes you just need to throw on some music and get kids moving and talking to one another! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily #pirateinnovation

Mystery pictures are a hit with my 5th graders! I love using @googlesheets with conditional formatting for skill practice because students receive immediate feedback and can analyze their errors. Plus, #BabyYoda! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper @lcp_it #pirateinnovation

Today we completed a 70s theme digital escape room that was created using @Google products. Response validation on Forms makes the perfect digital “lock.” 5th grade is ready for their math test tomorrow! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper #piratefamily @lcp_it #pirateinnovation

Today we’re working on writing algebraic expressions! I got the idea from @mathchick5 to use the book “One is a Snail Ten is a Crab” to make this complex topic more student friendly. I love the literacy connection. My 5th graders had a blast! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @lubbockcooper
