March 3, 2020

During Math today we tried a new thinking routine called, "It is / It isn't.  Students were given the number 26, and here is what they came up with as a group:


We will try this again tomorrow with another math concept.

Last week......

We continued our work with Dash and Dot.  As a class, we created a map of Nunavut which included some landmarks and animals.  After recording the map in their books, students were partnered up and given a unique challenge.  Example - move from the school to the airport.  What made it even trickier was coming up with more than one way to complete the challenge.  Students began by creating a code in their books, and then they programmed Dash and tested their code!  Almost everyone was successful in completing their challenge!  If you notice, each square is 30 cm which makes it interesting when figuring out how far Dash has to move at a time.
