Can't wait for these
It was a labor of love, but I finally finished creating eight new progression videos. Once they're out, I'll get them uploaded to my site. Thanks for the nudge to get these done. gfletchy.com/progression-vid…

Working on my concept circles. This reinforces the concept of proportional reasoning using what is normally thought of as a "ten" as "one" Also, 0.06 challenges students. Can we show 0.06? Why? Why not? What needs to change? Deep thinking indeed!
So great to hear.
Today we engaged in #MathPlay by creating faces with a value of 100 and then graphing our rods! I LOVE using relational rods to represent thinking in number and data, helping students develop a deeper understanding. Thanks @kitluce1 for this great idea from @OAMEcounts

I want to build costellomath.com into a one-shop stop for educators & schools.
Problem Toolbox has 3000 problems. I’m going to add Gr 7-8.
Daily Cumulative Review questions for September for Gr 3-8.
Problem of the Week.
And more.
DM any ideas on how this can grow!

Hi!
I've always liked these, so I made a few for × and ÷ decimals, calling them GIVEN/THEN. #MTBoS #iteachmath

I use this format with other arithmetic procedures, pretty much give ss the answer as prompt.

Really appreciating the richness of the Divide an Inch task from @OAMEcounts with #MTH1W. My class last year struggled heavily with it. As a result, I was much better prepared to scaffold and consolidate this year and so many good things came out of it! 1/2

Working with integers? Try this shady #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different integers to get products shown in each row/column AND sum of 4 shaded cells is 2.
ALT Use 9 different integers in a 3 by 3 grid. The numbers in the top row multiply to 16. The numbers in the middle row multiply to -21. The numbers in the bottom row multiply to 60. The numbers in the left column multiply to 42. The numbers in the middle column multiply to 60. The numbers in the right column multiply to -8. The sum of the integers in the 2 by 2 square at the top left of the grid is 2.

From our introduction chapter. Remember, every step toward equity eliminates inequity or cultivates equity. By itself celebrating diversity doesn't do either. We should celebrate diversity, but it can't become the high optics, low-impact fill-in for high-impact equity leadership.
What math questions could you ask?
The heart of a blue whale, which can weigh in excess of 1,300 lbs (590 kg), is the size of a small car. The gigantic heart beats 8 to 10 times per minute, and each heartbeat can be heard from over 2 miles (3.2 km) away. Their arteries are so large that a full adult-sized human can swim through them.
At birth, a baby blue whale is already 25 ft long (the size of an adult killer whale) and can drink up to 150 gallons (568 liters) of milk a day, gaining as much as 200 lbs (90 kg) per day in its first year. They feed almost exclusively on krill, which are small, shrimp-like invertebrates that are on average only 1 or 2 centimeters long. They eat 4 to 6 tons of krill a day. As adults, they can grow up to 110 ft (33 m) in length and weigh up to 180 tons.
It's fascinating that throughout history, Earth has been home to some of the biggest animals, but the largest one of them all exists in our timeline, swimming in the deep ocean right now.

Culturally responsive doesn’t work if we don’t centre love and joy. We don’t give a child their genius, they always have it. We have an obligation to nourish it. Curriculum is a mirror and needs to reflect who kids are. @GholdyM @yrdsbinclusion
I've used the Mentoring Meets Coaching book a fair bit in my work. Great resource.
Some new reading for me as I shift into a partial role of #MTH1W math coach this year. It’s just like coaching gymnastics, right? 😁 Looking forward to working with students & staff throughout #RainbowDSB!
ALT Two books: When Mentoring Meets Coaching: shifting the stance in education, by Kate Sharpe and Jeanie Nishimura, and Results Now 2.0: the untapped opportunities for swift, dramatic gains in achievement, by Mike Schmoker.
Great game for building logical thinking and collaboration skills.
Looking for a fun little game to keep in your back pocket for those days when you have seven random minutes left at the end of class? Let me introduce you to the Game of Sim that involves drawing lines and avoiding triangles!

As Close As It Gets is a routine that can help students reason instead of jumping into steps of a procedure.
What's your reasoning?
