New year, late start to posting! Our Gr 3/4’s were excited about our new subtraction practice! We build 5 tens using pipe cleaners and beads. We write 50 at the top and roll two 6-sided dice and subtract the total by moving the beads. What if we don’t have enough beads on a group of 10? We borrow!

When your students know how much you love teaching math ♥️🧮 #matheducation #scdsb #probability

I had planned to share all of my sessions but the two days went by so quick! All teachers should get to experience #OAME! A few highlights for myself was listening to (the greats) Jo Boaler, Marian Small, and Alex Lawson, and experiencing my first time as a presenter as well! #matheducation #scdsb

I’ve made it to my first session at #OAMElearn and cannot wait to begin! Starting off with the incredible Alex Lawson, Mel, Kate, and Heather to explore Celebrating Students Natural Thinking: Accessibility and Effective Way Forward in Multiplication and Division! #ontariomath #scdsbmath

#cuisenairerods are an amazing way to explore math! My Gr 3’s were encouraged to create math talk images today during our small group deliberate practice! Our room was filled with oohs and aahs! What do you notice? What do you wonder? #scdsb #math #primarymath #teaching #scdsbmath #mathcenters

Our #mathstoday was reviewing Ms. Watson’s @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social Roll Up Tally!! While my class was positive I would win a car, we were excited to see some “rare” winnings pop up! But Ms. Watson has been enjoying all her free drinks! Thanks Timmies for the math fun!

I love my students excitement for Math Centers! But when one says “I can’t wait to see fractions in centers”, I can’t contain my excitement! Games, puzzles, & math journals were all a hit! Check out how they organize their thinking #mathstoday #scdsb #oame #mathcenters #mathfun @eduskyteam.com

For the first time ever I’ll be presenting on my love of Math Centers! I’ll be at the #oame conference this year, alongside some of the most inspiring math education enthusiasts — @natbanting.bsky.social @mathematize4all.bsky.social @markchubb.bsky.social @joboaler.bsky.social and many more! #scdsb

It’s happened. I am officially pro #kindle! I never thought I would turn my back on paper books. However, after being gifted a #kindlepaperwhite, I’ll never go back! I’ve read seven books in 2025 so far, while also discovering new genes thanks to the easy search and purchase options #reader #reading

Looking for an easy way to engage students in small groups? Two words: smelly markers! We are learning multiplication & creating arrays in Gr 3. Even my most apprehensive students begin to relax! #scdsb #math #elementaryschool #smellymarkers #ontario #education #teaching #teacher #mathematics

Inspiring #acadience training hosted by #scdsb literacy team today! My professional goal for the next two months is focusing 5-10 minutes a day on a fluency routine in our classroom. Data driven instruction leading the way! #literacy #assessment #education
