In #MathsToday Gr7s played a game, building fractions and decimals out of a (limited) set of digit cards to meet my increasingly challenging demands. So much discussion, estimating, converting, and evaluating multiple potential answers. They loved the activity and I loved their thinking! #ITeachMath

Passed back some art on the Cartesian plane my students made a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked how much some of them enjoyed the task and provided much more detail than I asked for/anticipated. #iteachmath

Tofu Pad Kra Pao (Thai basil tofu) from Drive Me Hungry. Can confirm this was absolutely easy and delicious. #CookSky #LetsEat

Gr 7s spent the period investigating the best materials for filtering some polluted water. Lots of evaluating and revising … #iteachscience

And in science, Gr 8s made a model of human lungs. Great to illustrate the role of the diaphragm in respiration. #iteachscience

In #mathstoday Gr 7s played games creating equivalent fractions, percents, and decimals to consolidate their strategies for converting. Scoring points by creating lines in either (or both) of the two grids added an element of strategy. #iteachmath

Hi folks! I have taught math and science to grade 7 and 8 students for six years and am looking forward to learning from the community here! My personal life and other creative interests may also creep into my posts from time to time. Happy to be here so far! #iteachmath
