Three Act Math Tasks

Three Act Math Tasks

Over the past two school years I have been working towards fully implementing the Building Thinking Classrooms approach to teaching math. I’ve found that this has also led to me looking for a much wider library of rich math tasks. Changing my approach to teaching math has really opened my eyes to what is possible…

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

Introduction  The idea of Intelligent Fast Failure resonated with me instantly, that giving students the opportunity to not only try but to fail allowed them to fully engage in the learning process. “Students who tried lots of ideas in a short period of time were going through a process of fast failure wherein each failed…

Division Unit with Technology

Division Unit with Technology

I have attached my grade 4 introduction to division unit. With all of my math units I like to focus on conceptual understanding first then move to the applications so my units are fairly slow paced in the beginning then pick up as we move along. I find that my students typically respond well to…

Social Media for Teachers

Social Media for Teachers

I have used social media for teaching ideas for a long time. At the beginning of my career I was focused on making everything Pinterest or Instagram perfect, forgetting that those were stills from half a second in the life of a classroom. I thought I needed to have the classroom that looked like the…

Number Sense Activites

Posted on March 18, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Number Sense Activites

I chose to create my Pinterest board focusing on number sense.  Number sense routines are something I do daily with my students and that provide a lot of opportunity for students who may not normally engage in mathematical discussions to engage. My goal when choosing number sense activities is to pick Low Threshold High Ceiling…

Scratch Coding

Posted on March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Scratch Coding

Overall Scratch is something that I want to use in my classroom after reviewing all of the information.
