At @GESatKAUST we have been thinking about the language we use in math. Think about how you teach math or have been taught math. What words do you find challenge you, what might you need to change and what words have expired? #MathPact #Math #PYP #IB

Amazing to see how the students used that visual model!
Working with @_mrsrees to build #patternsofpower inspired lessons. Taking a passage and inquiring into how commas can structure sentences to capture a the detail of a moment in our writing. Great authors use commas to construct imagery for the reader.

"Using a planning timeline that is highly visible and large enough to include written reflections on it is a very important first step in the teaching and planning process." - @andyvasily Interesting read about flow in learning and structured planning: bit.ly/2yyGRwj

Strategies to create deeper & more meaningful collaboration in regards to teaching & learning. pyppewithandy.com/pyp-pe-blo…. See how we use planning timelines to be precise and explicit about the units we teach @GESatKAUST. @anya_pyp @AnnevanDam1966 @kjinquiry @ibpyp #IBVI2018 #physed
