Students loved the “Spooky Math” station with Courtney Speciale, Ed.S & Sashari Caretti where they learned about shapes, collecting and graphing data. They used their knowledge to build their own spooky, glow in the dark house!

“Spooky Math” constructing haunted houses with 2D shapes. Thank you Courtney Speciale, Ed.S and Sashari Caretti for a scary fun time Cullman City Primary STEM- Anna Anderson Cullman City Primary


Just created a 3D-printed math manipulative to help students grasp place value! Perfect for hands-on learning and making abstract concepts more tangible. Can’t wait to see how it transforms the classroom experience! Sashari Caretti Lindsay Brannon, Ed.S., NBCT Cullman City Board of Education westelemcullman


After moving through the CPA model for 2x1 to 4x1 digit ✖️, ss are returning back to concrete models as we begin working with greater magnitude for 2x2 digit ✖️. These manipulatives prepare students for the area model & partial products. EastElementary AMSTI Athens State


Teachers, ss,&coaches were all in the floor working on math strategies! We transitioned from manipulatives to pictorial area models today. Discourse,accuracy checks,& making sense of structure were on display! Mrs. Paige Hamm, Ed.S., N.B.C.T. EastElementary AMSTI Athens State


Courtney Speciale, Ed.S Mrs. Smith’s Class EastElementary AMSTI Athens State Exploring, building, AND teaching? These 3rd graders are true math MVPs! 🏆🧮

Math GAME Day! 🏈 Students rotated through “quarters” to solve 2-by-1 and 2-by-2 multiplication problems. EastElementary



Students partitioned sweet treats into equal groups! They learned about dividends, divisors, and quotients. The next step is to master making area models with division. #whole #part #part #candycorn EastElementary


We read one of my favorites; “A Remainder of One,” then had fun in math by dividing candy corn into equal groups to find quotients and remainders! Long division, here we come! 🎃 EastElementary


Coaching cycle on Halloween with Courtney Speciale, Ed.S & Ms. Hill's Class 👻 Great instruction never stops EastElementary. Cullman City Board of Education Carissa Blair Kyle Kallhoff

Observed critical thinking and the arts on display in classrooms EastElementary and Cullman City Primary today. Yes, learning can be fun! Lindsay Brannon, Ed.S., NBCT Courtney Speciale, Ed.S Amanda Stidham, NBCT, M. Ed. ll

Celebrating the accomplishments of EastElementary this week at #nbrs2024. National Blue Ribbon Cullman City Board of Education Alabama State Department of Education


Day 1 of our Fraction Cookie Kitchen PBL was a fun & festive fractional review on equally partitioning shapes & naming unit fractions in 3rd & using pictorial models to find common denominators & add/subtract fraction pairs in 5th! EastElementary AMSTI Athens State


Thank you Courtney Speciale, Ed.S for hosting a cookie fraction lesson! It was a great learning opportunity for students to make discoveries and to prepare for our fraction unit! 🍪 #learningisdelicious EastElementary


Day 2 of the Fraction Cookie Kitchen: 3rd grade learned about equal partitioning of shapes & naming unit fractions.All 4th grade learned about finding equivalent fractions using area models &even discovered some ➕equations on their own! EastElementary AMSTI Athens State


3rd grade students are enhancing their understanding of polygons with digital geoboards! ✨ Interactive tools like these make geometry engaging and accessible, combining technology with hands-on exploration! Lindsay Brannon, Ed.S., NBCT EastElementary Cullman City Board of Education


Fourth grade fraction pizzeria PBL! Students compared fractions, added fractions, subtracted fractions, and made equivalent fractions.➕🍕➖EastElementary Courtney Speciale, Ed.S


Supporting the final push before ACAP using elements of the AMSTI Geometry Experience. SS used tools to build polygons &construct arguments to defend their models.These task cards naturally allow SS to use multiple student math practices EastElementary AMSTI Athens State Lindsay Brannon, Ed.S., NBCT
