I had the opportunity to see some amazing math teachers today. It is great to have the opportunity to see a class at the beginning of the year and then at spring break time. Mr. Armstrong's grade 4/5 class were all on task and doing many different activities independently. He has adapted the weekly graph into an individual assignment where students come up with their own questions, survey the group, and create their own graph including a self assessment of the criteria. See the weekly graph page for photo's. Mrs Fushty uses the smart board to engage students in a mini lesson, always using math terms- 'a square fact ( 4x4) inverse operation. Mrs Frederick is using money to count how many days students have been in school and uses the place value cards to add up words of the week. So many interesting changes in their classes! |
