I would like to invite you to visit me in the Concept Studio. Do you have a maths concept that you would like to explore with your students? Let’s talk and make a date. Incorporate Indigenous Ways of Learning, Maths, nature and fresh air!

SketchNoting

SketchNoting is a fun way for students and their families to engage and explore learning through illustrations, symbols, structures and text. There is no wrong way to do it, you don’t need to know how to draw, and technology is allowed. Check out wikipedia for more information on SketchNoting.

Math in Spring

I am sure that you are inundated with materials that you can use with your students. I have attached a poster that could be shared with parents. I hope they have fun with it and report back to you what they discovered!

Recommended Resources for Parents

Please feel free to share these sites with parents. Most do not involve a great deal of materials and most have stepped up for this worrisome time. Keep well out there and remember “This too will pass.”

Math for Love

This site supports parents and kids by exploring mathematical ideas through games. A ‘short list’ of a number of math games is provided; this includes pencil and paper games, card games, games involving special decks, board games, puzzle games, and other resources.

Math Before Bed (or anytime!)

This link leads to a collection of prompts that can inspire mathematical discussions that families can have before bed, at dinner or anytime. Each prompt shows children a problem that may or may not have more than one answer. The purpose of each question is to generate a discussion about HOW the answer was determined.

Youcubed At Home

This website includes many activities that focus on visual math and growth mindset. During this time they are offering activities that students could do at home ranging in age as well as a range of materials. This site also includes a free student course for parents/guardians and kids to do together.

Numeracy in Peace River North

This site is maintained by the district’s numeracy support teachers. During this time there will be activities posted for students to do at home with minimal materials.

Prodigy

A free game platform that encourages students to solve problems as they cast spells and journey through a make believe land. The game is for Grades 1 – 8 but students complete a placement assessment at the beginning (students don’t know this) and then given appropriate levels of math afterwards. Highly engaging game and good math.

As I have been perusing the myriad of possible resources that would be of use to you in your planning I have come across the Surrey Numeracy Support site. They have collected up all the sites that may be of use to you (many on this site also) as well as tasks in three grade bands: K-2, 3-6 and 6,7. They also offer links to other districts and their menu’s of support including videos.

So curated BC resources in one place!!

Let me reiterate their warning – “The list can be overwhelming. Once you find one or two you like, use them awhile before exploring more.”

Keep well out there, slowly one step at a time.

Remote Learning

danielleb — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 18:07:21 +0000

While I was working through my emails and such, I came across work done by a Math Resource teacher named Fawn Nguyen. She is a person I respect and she had done an incredible amount of work putting together 4 weeks of learning at nine levels – PreK-K to Grade 9. She uses many of the same sources that I share freely and promote to teachers as solid mathematical resources. Keep in mind that she is in California so the grade levels will not correspond to ours. I usually look a grade or two lower on American sites. That being said, it is an excellent resource that I wanted to share with you all.

Here is the link to the resource. Please use it and let me know what you think.

Keep well out there.

Our New ‘Normal’ !!!

danielleb — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 07:10:00 +0000

The most important thing is to keep yourself well. Secondly, please know that I am here to help in any way I can. Reach out, I would love it.

As you are working through your planning let me offer some activities/ explorations that your students could work on next week while everyone figures out this new world.

Each activity – early years, middle years and later years – were chosen to give students an accessible math activity that has worthwhile content and also requires minimal materials.

This link should take you to a brief description of each activity. Within each activity description are links to a simplified parent version of the activity and a link to the original lesson. I did not add to the parent version any assessment or written expectations. Please add what you think are appropriate for your students and situation.

Let me know what you think and how they might work in your class. Keep well.

I am so exited to share with you a site that has links to so many excellent math sites! This site is a collection of the best of the best for math routines, math tasks and math pd. It is a blog called Teach at the Speed of Learning and I can’t get over the wealth of math he has collected in one spot.
