Third grade is in deep conversation making mathematical conjectures! @mikewiernicki @christygSu @DFlowLeads @leela_varian @Math_HCS @eastlake_hcs #i❤️math
Have fun learning about ratios with origami frogs. A new task for middle school students. Bonus: There's a sequel included as well! #msmathchat #iteachmath #mathmakessense #mtbos mikewiernicki.com/origami-frogs/
What an unexpected surprise from some preservice teachers at KSU! It was an honor to facilitate this workshop. You all are some amazing mathematical thinkers ready to help your future students do the same! kudoboard.com/boards/63q6SGza #mathmakessense #iteachmath #middlegradesmathchat
One of my favorite games for K-1 students practicing combinations to 5 and 10 (and easily adapted to 20). Check out Hubbub, a game played at the first Thanksgiving! mikewiernicki.com/2023/11/29/hub… #Thanksgiving #mathmakessense #iteachmath #earlymath #numbersense #elemmathchat #K1
Ss chose their #MathSpice level w/ this perimeter & area challenge. Differentiated levels from mild 🌶️ to spicy 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️. Thanks @mikewiernicki for bringing the academic heat & for promoting critical thinking! @DFlowLeads @Kmtfsouthern @eastlake_hcs @GaDOEMath @Math_HCS
A 360 degree view of mathematical thinking, discovering, & problem solving lead by @mikewiernicki in Dr. Sutton’s 3rd class. The collaboration & conversations were organic, ELEvated, & enriched. @DFlowLeads @Kmtfsouthern @eastlake_hcs
I'm honored to be this week's featured creator on Sembl. If you teach math to K-6+ students, check this out. Thank you, James, for the shout out! sembl.app #elemmathchat #msmathchat #tasks #iteachmath #mathmakessense
