Geometry at the end of the year = instant engagement!
Breaking out all the shape manipulatives and giving students the chance to build their thinking—literally. I love hands-on learning & these fort building supplies are a fun way to get the kids out of their seats. #mathismyjam
It’s not about memorizing formulas—it’s about understanding.
Real-world area & perimeter tasks = deeper thinking, stronger connections, and math that actually makes sense. #MathIsMyJam
This week I had the pleasure of presenting at Leadership APS. My team and I guided cohort members through an immersive elementary math experience—modeling how hands-on learning helps bring math concepts to life. #MathIsMyJam
Spent the day at @APSBolton facilitating PLCs and digging into math planning through a CRA lens. “Touch it. Draw it. Solve it.” Teachers left with hands-on strategies and ready-to-use ideas. 👏 #MathisMyJam#PLCs
Today I met with @APSBolton
PLCs to provide an overview of the three K–5 Math textbook finalists. Teachers will now teach lessons using each curriculum as part of the review process. Last day for the community review is Feb. 10th. 🧮 📕 #mathismyjam
I had a great time launching upcoming units with @APSBolton 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teams this week. We dug into standards, misconceptions, and instructional moves that support deep, conceptual understanding. #mathismyjam
Prepping for Instructional Coaches Academy! My session will focus on Laying the Final Bricks🧱:the elementary geometry progression & GMAS pacing. 🏗️ 🚧🦺 #mathismyjam#elementarymath
January means Unit 4b in GA 4th grade Math. All things decimal fractions. This unit is so much fun in 4th grade because it’s completely new learning for students. #mathismyjam
We start every T&L Thursday PL with a little fun! 🍪 This week, we kicked things off with a Cookie Decorating Challenge—such a sweet way to launch a day full of learning, collaboration, and math talk. #MathIsMyJam
Concept Circles in Math are visual graphic organizers, used to connect different representations or aspects of a single mathematical idea.
Here are 2 ways that we used them this week. I can think of many other ways to use them across grade levels and concepts! #mathismyjam
Composing and decomposing numbers starts in Unit 1 of 3rd grade in GA and comes back around in Unit 4. Giving students opportunities to build numbers makes this skill stick, strengthening both place value understanding and number flexibility. #mathismyjam
