I am going to try the area puzzle math talk or a version of one, that Rob Hodson shared.

Mindful Math
Have students create a pattern on a wooden rod with 10 beads. Seal the ends and voila...you have, what we call, “breathing rods.” This can be used in multiple ways. An example: ring a bell 5 times and have students track the rings with their beads. You can also use this to track breaths when doing mindful activities...helps to calm students.

How to Teach Multiplication Using Cuisenaire Rods - Math Video

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
I was first introduced to Cuisenaire rods and the ideas in this video (and others) through the Miquon math curriculum. The use of the word "of" for multiplication rocked our math world here in this house! It also comes in handy when teaching fractions (think: 1/2 OF 1/3 when reading 1/2 x 1/3).

# data[].attributes.body
Liked the discussion about material other classes are using to help students self assess and use as a guideline to direct their work and make sure they're meeting assignment criteria in their work
Interested in a couple of online tools we discussed and might try some format of the 'Above the Bar' tool.

Spiral Math Mats
We use these Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to start our math block.

# data[].attributes.body
I will try to divide assessments into knowledge, thinking, communication, and application questions. Then use the results to target specific areas of need for each student. In this example, the communication and application areas need the most improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
I had also shared my experience with THE BAR.  We talked about our desktop success criteria (checklist) that students check off as they complete their problems in class.
I briefly shared my experiences with Math UP and how it is a valuable resource for 3 part lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the Chromebook screen capture tool -- I see applications for this in lots of areas.

I brought hands-on exploration of area measurement using student made newspaper 1ft x 1 ft square frames, vs 1m x 1m sqare frames. This is to move students from concrete to representation of area in built-to-scale models of food trucks. We will also use this to introduce cubic feet and cubic metres when ready.

Plus multiplication fact beads:

I would like to try the Problem of the Week idea that CB shared that he uses from The University of Waterloo.
I would also like to look at perhaps getting a license to Mathletics.

Math Game - post different problems around the room, students complete with whiteboards, take them up, and assign random question for completion at end (exit ticket?)

Maybe also try as a graffiti exercise?!?!

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the multiplication method of using cuisinarre rods to show friendly numbers. Adding after simplifying the multiplication will help to ease students into this method. Using whiteboards is a great way to visualize the math without (for some) having the distraction of using the actual tools.

We shared part of our morning routine. We wanted to focus on using the ten frame. At the beginning of the year it focuses on number recognition and subutizing numbers as we would add a new chip each day. We have a fish bowl that the student of the day adds a fish to initially count to 100 days of school. After 100 days of school we moved to addition and looking for what two numbers they see each morning as we switch one chip over from yellow to red. The student of the day writes the number sentence.  Ten frames and manipulative are available at our math centres as an extension.

I will definitely try:
Am I Under the Bar or Over the Bar for student self-assessment

Math Loose Parts: each box contains 10 small, loose parts (i.e. erasers, gems, counters, pebbles). This is great for small and whole group work with problem solving, creating number statements, patterning, 1-1 correspondence, subitizing...it goes on and on! Enjoy!  (T.Trotter)
