Kids had a great time on Friday getting some much needed outside play time after testing for 3 days. Now it's back to "normal" for just a few more short weeks… #CountDownIsOn #SummerHereWeCome #SalkStrong

Team 6-4 End of Year IXL Award Ceremony #LookAtWhatWeHaveDone #CelebrateLearning #MathAndELA #SalkStrong

One of my favorite lessons… and this time, we did it with the help of this TikTok video.   Ss couldn't believe that we were watching TikTok in math class 😆 #iteachmath #SalkStrong

Another video I'm going to have to show my students. I can't believe I've never seen division done this way! #AlwaysLearning

Vocabulary Poster Gallery Walk: Ss walked the "gallery" of the posters they made with their groups in order to review their vocabulary words and fill in the missing parts of their vocabulary notes. First math vocabulary quiz tomorrow! #YesWeDoVocabularyInMath #SalkStrong

So proud of how my ss tackled the challenge of their first Open Middle problem. Can't wait to do another one tomorrow! #SalkStrong #ProblemSolvers #MathIsFun #LetsTalkAboutIt

Although none of my ss have seen "Father of the Bride", watching a clip from movie helped them understand real world uses of LCM. Ss then worked together to solve similar problems & used linking cubes to model the multiples. #iteachmath #TheyThinkImOld #SalkStrong

Lots of group work & discussion in math class this week thanks to some special visits from our Math Coach Stacey Swider. #LetsGiveThemSomethingToTalkAbout #TeamWork #MathIsFun #SalkStrong

What an amazing application of integer operations! Another trick to add to the math tool box 🤓 #ilovemath #StillLearning

Another successful #PiDay on the books! Every year it seems to get bigger and bigger (and more and more exhausting 😅) but the kids really had a great day and were excited about math! #winning #SalkStrong #ilovemath

Ratios are everywhere 🤓 After investigating the ratios within circles as part of our Pi Day celebration, students are now ready to explore the ratios in their own bodies! #iteachmath #mathiseverywhere #handsonlearning #SalkStrong

The purpose of a math class should not be to teach students rules and steps to follow to solve problems. This is especially true now, when students have access to so many online resources and tools that can show them how to solve problems or that can just give them the answers.

Teachers over AI #GoToYourStudentsFrontDoor Thanks Dan Meyer for this perspective. #iteachmath (better than AI 😉) youtu.be/iH4Pn4bpOfQ?si…

Measuring, cutting, calculating & creating. Final project of the year: surface area & volume for 3D solids. Great Job 6-4! #WorkingTilTheEnd #HandsOnLearning #SalkStrong #iteachmath
