Session 3 2016/17

We started our session with an exploration of some math games and activities. Here are the links to these resources:


Game: (intermediate plus) “Prime Climb” from Math for Love
Game: (primary plus) “Tiny Polka Dot” also from Math for Love (order through Kick Starter)
For tessellations: Tiling Turtles: from Talking Math with Your Kids, also other tessellation tools.

We had a check in on our experience with the instructional strategy "Which One Doesn't Belong" in our classrooms and our reflections on Chapter 2 of "Mathematical Mindsets". (Here is a link to our notes from Session 3).

Then we started out on a continuum looking at the assumptions we might make K-9 of our students. This work will continue next session...

Homework:

• Finding inspiration from the visuals used in Graham Fletcher's "Progression of Fractions", incorporate visuals into one of your lessons and report back on how it went.

• Read a chapter (your choice) in "Mathematical Mindsets" and report back next day. 

Next session is Thursday, March 16th! from 9-12:30pm (or whatever works for you to get back to your school on time for the afternoon) at GISS in Sue's classroom (N205).
