All of the brackets I created by hand in the 80s and 90s are paying off teaching 5/6 probability at Westboro Academy. #MarchMadness #marchmathness #bracketology
Westboro Academy grade 5 creating dice from recycled wood. Overheard comments: "Do we sand all twelve edges?" "The vertices are sharp." "If we sand it, will they still be right angels?" "I love making my own manipulatives." @howie_hua @IsabRacine #mathisfun #math #geometry
Grade 5 and 6 students at Westboro Academy had some amazing "Aha!" moments this week discovering and exploring the Triangle Sum Theorem.
Hello fellow #OAME2023 attendees. Looking forward to starting hh Friday afternoon in Room 201B for a laid back workshop - Printer jammed and WiFi down? Teaching Math With What You Have.

We focused so much on getting to 1:1 we forgot the benefits of sharing a device. Try this from time to time.
If you want to blow your students' minds and have them totally engaged in an assessment, surprise them with a 'Test in a Bag'. Grade six student, "I can't believe I'm excited and nerding out over a test!" #math #geometry #thinkoutsidethebag @howie_hua
Excited to lead a workshop this spring at #OAME2023 Printer jammed and WiFi down? Teaching Math With What You Have.
Today was a good example of grabbing what was available to teach geometry. Grade 5 students were engaged for the entire hour.
