Island Conquer
Today in math students played Island Conquer to practice math skills related to geometry, number sense and measurement. This fun game is available free on-line. Print your own copy and challenge your child to a game at home.
Reflecting on Math Homework
Each week students have an open-ended math homework question to complete. On Thursdays or Fridays students share their strategies and solutions with a partner. The conversations that I hear always make me smile. Students are genuinely interested in their peers’ work and are increasingly using math vocabulary to ask questions and share their own thinking. After the partner sharing we look at some answers as a class and further discuss best strategies and ways to communicate our thinking.
Happy Halloween
We had so much fun today starting with the parade, followed by Just Dance Halloween, some yummy snacks, haunted house creating, pumpkin math and ending with sharing some sweet treats to take home.

Oreo Challenge 2014
The Oreo Challenge is tied to our math unit on Data Management. This activity provided data that will be used as we explore creating and reading graphs next week. It was also a great opportunity to practice team work skills.
Number Patterns
In math, room 6 has been working on skip counting and number patterns. I have added new links to online games to help students practise and develop skills in reading, creating and solving number patterns. Look under the Great Websites/Math tab above.
If you think you can do it…
… you can. (John Burroughs)
A bulletin board of instructional materials was replaced by positive faces and messages today. This is in preparation for the standardized testing that begins next week for the grade threes.
