The Challenge of Labels

Posted on March 12, 2023 By Amanda Younger No Comments on The Challenge of Labels

In reading about the different approaches to education and curriculum I realize that I don’t fit into any one particular box. I like elements of several and combine what works for me and my students to best fit their needs. If I were to pick one that best connects to my style of teaching it…

Resilient Problem Solving

Posted on August 16, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Resilient Problem Solving

Resilient Problem Solving.pptx Over the past few weeks my definition and beliefs around innovation and what counts as innovation has shifted. Only a few weeks ago I believed that to innovate you had to be doing something brand-new and never seen before and that I was not an innovator. Over the past few weeks while…

Taking a Risk in Planning the Number Sense Unit

Posted on August 15, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Taking a Risk in Planning the Number Sense Unit

Framework for Learning

Posted on August 15, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Framework for Learning

I found this assignment challenging, as my thinking about curriculum and planning has always been fluid and further evolved while reading in this module. Representing the ideas visually was tricky, as a learner with ADHD I often describe my thinking as in webs rather than in lines or patterns, I jump from one connection to…

Innovative Planning Reflection

Posted on August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Innovative Planning Reflection

I currently teach grade 4 and have for the past four school years. When looking at my planning process in relation to my key words I have found some areas of strength and a few areas of weakness. Doing this activity helped me to highlight some focus areas for next year. I aim for a…

Moving Math Forward

Moving Math Forward

In this task we viewed two videos and one of my favourite math videos was on the list. I have created a simple infographic to sum up the main points and have also shared the video below. Another one that the video we viewed for the course makes me think of is the Five Principles…

Math Mindsets

Posted on November 20, 2021November 20, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Math Mindsets

https://www.youcubed.org/evidence/ I’m going to start with saying I am a huge fan of Jo Boaler! Her work and resources are transforming how I teach math. If you haven’t tried the Week of Inspirational Math with your students do so now! The work it did around our mathematical mindset was great, it was exploratory, playful and…

Response to the Mathematician’s Lament

Response to the Mathematician’s Lament

https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf The Mathematician’s Lament hit me hard as someone who loves music and art, I couldn’t imagine a world where a child’s only exposure to art or music was one where it was so proscribed as Lockhart suggests. I grew up as a competitive dancer and it continues to shape my outlook, reading Lockhart’s Lament…

Outdoor Math

Outdoor Math

One of my biggest takes always from my current course is that math does not have to be confined and should not be confined to our traditional paper and pencil math. Something that I am looking forward to doing more of in the next few weeks before the end of the year is taking math…
