Grade 4/5 Teacher Zoe Donoahue shares the Daily Math Discussion she’s developed for junior grades. Her students use the number of days in school to explore factors, prime and composite numbers, fractions, division, multiplication, place value — and more!
Self-directed modules intended to support primary- and junior-grade teachers seeking to solidify or extend their mathematical knowledge for teaching. Concepts and procedures are based on Ontario’s elementary math curriculum. Each module concludes with an interactive problem-solving slide deck to practice relevant concepts in different contexts.
Fraction Ball converts a traditional basketball court, putting focus on the relationship between fractions and their equivalent decimals. “Fraction Ball can be painted pretty much anywhere or even drawn with chalk,” says University of California-Irvine Assistant Professor Dr. Andres Bustamante.
KWL-type models may oversimplify the process of coming to know by highlighting information over thinking, as well as failing to credit the mix of wondering, experiencing, thinking, rethinking, feeling, observing and questioning. PLUS, 8 ideas for working with conceptual organizers.
TELUS Friendly Future Foundation is helping The Robertson Program for Inquiry-based Teaching in Math and Science provide youth from underserved communities an opportunity to gain experience teaching math.
Deliberately selecting culturally diverse and relevant literature ensures all students have an opportunity see themselves reflected in class material. Plus, 7 self-reflective questions for educators to consider when selecting storybooks to support mathematical learning.
