Happy New Year #MathPlay 🧮 Friends!! Let's start 2025 with a Which One Doesn't Belong?🤔 #WODB #EduSky #MathSky #MathsToday #ITeachMath #MTBoS #ElemMathChat #Math #Maths

Playing board and card games can improve number sense among children as young as 3—and it’s fun! 🃏✨ #MathSky

Absolutely! I would expand this by saying, use ADST quick challenges the first week so you can observe and assess strengths and areas of development for a class, while also having fun. Debriefing these activities helps create essential agreements as a class.

Looking around and seeing 💤? These resources from educator @foes4sports.bsky.social can help you boost the energy in the room! docs.google.com/presentation... More here: cbhpe.org

Saw this on FB and thought it would make a good math warm-up or Math Talk What would you pick? 🍫🔥

Have students who need an extra challenge in math class? Find a set of 21st century pattern blocks and have them play. Lots of ideas on Dan Finkel's site mathforlove.com/games/centur...

Always fun puzzles from @mathequalslove.bsky.social . If you have students in your elementary intermediate classes who need extra challenges available, print up some of her puzzles and have them in a box with whiteboard markers and a plastic wipe off folder. Amazon has the folders.

I am looking into a question: How have teachers differentiated early primary, whole-class UFLI science-of-reading-based programs (with explicit lessons on letters) when they have gifted students who already read/write above grade level, or who intuitively have picked up reading skills?

Judging tonight at Burnaby's Got Talent at Burnaby South Secondary! I was recruited by one of the student volunteers organizing the event, who was my student from the MACC Program. So nice to see students taking on leadership! Excited to be here for an SD41 event! Thanks for asking me! 😀

The power of a picture book! One way I spend the summer, particularly as I travel, is looking for picture books to inspire lessons. On Pender Island? Talisman Books. In Victoria? Munro's. Going to Sidney, BC? Tanners. Parksville? Fireside Books or Sea&Summit. North Burnaby? Companion Books.
