Got to work with some hard thinking 4th grade mathematicians today, when we used area models to solve 2 * 2 digit multiplication word problems today. #makingmathmakesense@OrionOaksElem@LkOrionSchools
Fraction flowers are one of my all time favorite spring time activities that I do with my students. The fraction I give them is on the leaf. Each petal has an equivalent fraction to the given fraction. #makingmathmakesense#makingmathfun
- spent some time with our intermediate students showing how exploding dots is easily transferred to standard algorithm. When Ss have the understanding of flexibility and value of #s standard algorithm makes sense! #makingmathmakesense
My students have been exploring sub-programs and defined counts. Their task was to explore how the concept of sub-programs can help with a situation in music, sports, art/crafts, or dance. #coding#realworldexamples#makingmathmakesense
These mathematicians were working on a @gregtangmath pictarithm puzzle as a part of their math menu today & noticed there were fractions in number bonds! We used fraction bars to see if we could make sense of the numbers. ๐๐ผ#mathtalk#makingmathmakesense#ivyhillleague
We are using many tools to construct triangles and parallelograms that have the same area! We have a much deeper understanding of what area means in Grade 6!!!! #makingmathmakesense@GRDGreyhounds
