Action Planning

We had a great session yesterday! Thank you Gail for your "Number Talks" demonstration!

There were some rich conversations going on all over the room as we delved into representing various math concepts concretely using this handout:

Differentiating with Manipulatives 

Here is a quick view of some of the fun!

We also shared ideas/quotes/thoughts from our book club book and shared other resources we have found super useful. Thank you Janisse for giving folks some great primary focused resources! 

Next is ACTION PLANNING! Please let Susan or I know what supports you might need for you and your classroom as you enter this next step in your professional inquiry!

Also: I've posted the "Process of Multiplication" video under Resources. 

Next Session: Wed, Feb 10

Just a reminder that our next Math Inquiry session is next Wednesday, Feb. 10. Please fill out your LOA forms if you haven't already done so.

Here is the plan for the day. 

1. Number Talk

2. Play with manipulatives

3. Book Discussion *

4. Resource Sharing **

5. Check in on inquiry questions and time for action/planning.

* Book Discussion: We hope you've started reading our book, Creating Cultures of Thinking. If you could bring a question, idea or quote from the book, that would be great.

** It's always a good idea to share resources with each other. If you have anything that you would like to share with the group, bring it along.

As always, we're looking forward to our time together. See you Wednesday in the Career Centre room @ GISS!
