Comparing Visions for Math Education

Comparing Visions for Math Education

When reading through both documents I found ideas stood out from both. I did find that the WISE one spoke to me a bit more as I found the content more clearly defined and it proposed a balance between approaches. My own belief is that math should be joyful and exciting that play is a…

Grade 4 Math Compentencies

Grade 4 Math Compentencies

In choosing the activities for each of my three competencies I noticed that I was drawn to games and instructional routines. I love math routines after having been introduced to a few through a book study at my first school. In that book study we worked through “High-Yield Math Routines” which covers six routines that…

Balanced Numeracy

Posted on June 9, 2021June 9, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Balanced Numeracy
Balanced Numeracy

When I hear the term balanced numeracy my mind instantly jumps to my districts balanced literacy guide and I look for a similar resource. While the Balanced Numeracy Network provides a good overview and links to many helpful resources I am looking for more clarity on the pieces of a balanced numeracy program.  Something I…

Grade 4 Math Curriculum

Grade 4 Math Curriculum

My grade group often talks about how overwhelming it can be to attempt to cover all of the material in math especially this year with students having heightened anxiety levels and gaps in their mathematical background. As a grade group we are in the process of determining which topics are most important. We have also…

I like this idea and would be happy to try it with my current team, our team has a range of experience from 3 years to 30 years in the classroom. The three of us have spent this year building a supportive and positive working relationship even giving ourselves a team name. We have been…

Math Myths I Once Beleived

Math Myths I Once Beleived

Speed Matters I can remember being in my grade 12 pre-calculus class and my fellow students having negative comments because I was the last person done a test. AY probably failed everyone had said, she was the last done. Two days later when we got the test back, I had done well and had solved…

Math Tricks

Math Tricks

I found a set of “math magic tricks” that involve different computation steps that take you to a designated end number from any starting number. When I first looked at the you’ll always get 15 as an answer equation I thought there was no way that would ever work, until I tested it, setting up…

Mathematical Vocabulary

Posted on June 7, 2021June 11, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Mathematical Vocabulary
Mathematical Vocabulary

Mathematical Vocabulary from the United Kingdom. I found the book both informative and extensive. The list of vocabulary in it was helpful and there were very few words I could think of to add. One of the things I would add is to teach students the Greek and Latin roots that give number which appear…

Mathematical Thinking is Essential

Posted on June 7, 2021June 12, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Mathematical Thinking is Essential
Mathematical Thinking is Essential

I strongly identified with the work of Peter Liljedahl as it immediately struck me as the type of learners, I want my students to be, motivated, curious, self-directed thinkers. It also reminded me of the work of the Critical Thinking Consortium whose ideas I was exposed to as an education student at UBC and have…
