Halloween #thinkingclassroom Math Fun at @TayShoresPS 🎃👻 Ms. Watson was a Math Dart Board and (in groups of 3) students threw 1 ball each. Then, groups would write the number sentence for each group! When everyone finished, groups added the totals! @scdsbmath @pgliljedahl

We are loving our #thinkingclassrooms in Grade 3! It helps us generate great math conversations, learn how to share our thinking, and practice listening to one another. Today we were “playing darts” to make combinations of 3 digit number sentences 🤩

Our 1st #thinkingclassroom of the year in Gr 3!!! The amount of math talk, risk taking, and collaborations that happened was so incredible! Skip counting by 2/4/5’s, tally marks, pictures, and add/sub sentences, our math heart is FULL @pgliljedahl @scdsbmath @TayShoresPS

Today I practiced sharing our TC task verbally. I picked a short/sweet, but challenging task! I also practiced NOT answering proximity or stop-thinking-questions, which was HARD! But, it was interesting to watch the students push through the struggle by THINKING!! @scdsbmath

Day 8 of having our Chick Eggs!!! Today we Candled our eggs to see which eggs had veins in them! “What’s that black spot?” “Those look like my grandma’s veins!” “Do all animals have veins?” “Do we form our veins that early?” So many incredible inquiry questions!

Tuesdays we do 3-part math lessons. But today, during our “action”, students asked “can we use thinking boards with a friend to solve the question?” Within minutes, the whole class had started their own #thinkingclassroom! After our consolidation, students did an exit ticket.

My class had a spec-TACO-lar time taking orders from the Taco Truck! They had number talks based on skip counting, number grouping, and multiplication entirely led by themselves! If you haven’t tried a Thinking Classroom yet, check out @pgliljedahl now!. #scdsbmath @TayShoresPS

I’ve been implementing the first 4 practices since January. Today I finally added practices 5 & 6, and it went so smoothly I asked myself “why did you wait so long??” #mathgrowth #challengeyourself

Another Thinking Classroom in the books! We started by figuring out the value of our names and then tried to line up from least to greatest! Our next challenge was the write a word that was closest to $100! #scdsb #scdsbmath @TayShoresPS @scdsbmath

It was incredible how many kids began trying to spell words with a “z” because it had the greatest value. Some started with “zoo” or “zip” which led to wonderful knowledge mobility! Eventually kids said “what about words that end in a double z” (linking to our UFLI literacy!
