March Madness brackets tweak “What Makes a Good President?”
It’s outside my comfort zone but I’m ready to see what happens next week.

Ts @GPCSD. We were talking about this the other day. Give Ss a choice of which strategy they prefer & make sense to them. Great discussion comes when we see that others get there in different ways! #getthemthinking#buildingthinkers 👍
Want an easy but FUN game to help your Ss become familiar with CR? Try "Grab Bag" by @mathforlove.
It's simple to set up & fun to play. Plus, you can extend Ss learning by adding more 'staircase' sets to the bag. #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking@GPCSD
Use Cuisenaire Rods to connect multiplication with division. Ss use the hands on manipulatives to represent number, compose groups of, show multiples, make fact families, decompose into groups..so many ways to use CR! #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking@GPCSD
Cuisenaire rods are such a powerful tool for Ss in the classroom. This year I have come to love them when looking at operations, number sense, problem solving, fractions, games... so much we can use them for! #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking@GPCSD
It's Fri-YAY friends. Just a reminder that you make a difference each & every day. Take some time this weekend to foster YOUR own curiosity & take care of you. #wevegotthis#buildingthinkers#getthemthinking#GPCSD
It's PD day today @GPCSD & we continue to talk about building RICH tasks for Ss. Want to find out where to get a RICH task for your Ss? Look at the list below for some great places to start! #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking
Rich tasks can be found anywhere! Sometimes we just need to reframe our thinking to switch things up!
@marian_small gives great insight & tips on how to do this. Check out some easy ways below. #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking@GPCSD
Good morning friends!
Building "RICH" Math tasks into your daily routines, helps Ss become stronger. How? Read below to find out what RICH tasks do for you and your Ss. (Tomorrow we will discuss what a RICH task looks like.)

What's the difference between SPIRAL planning & BLOCKED planning your curriculum? Here's a quick comparison. One has students revisting often, the other is a 'one and done'. Which do you think has a greater impact on Ss learning? #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking@GPCSD
Want to know more about Sprialling & why you should give a try? Kristen Phillips shares the "why" & I must say, she's really convincing! Give it a listen (@GPCSD) Ts. It's fantastic. #buildingthinkers#getthemthinking#knowbetterdobetter
What is "Spiralling"? This week we dive into planning using SPIRALS of learning, rather than UNITS of learning. Think smaller chunks of learning, spread over an amount of time. Ss dive deeper into concepts with each visit they take.
#getthemthinking#buildingthinkers@GPCSD
Over the last weeks, Ts gathered to discuss areas of intervention. Focusing on rich, open tasks to solve & created centers that connected understanding & practicing concepts. Games were a big part of our practice..1/2 @gpcsd#buildingthinkers#getthemthinking
Seven different digits are placed in a row. The products of the first three, middle three, and last three are all equal. What is the middle digit? Find the solution and explore all questions on our puzzle calendar at mathigon.org/puzzles
