I love my students excitement for Math Centers! But when one says “I can’t wait to see fractions in centers”, I can’t contain my excitement! Games, puzzles, & math journals were all a hit! Check out how they organize their thinking #mathstoday #scdsb #oame #mathcenters #mathfun @eduskyteam.com

David was my last presentation at OAME and made me truly stop and think about what kind of questions I provide students. Then he dropped the ultimate teacher freebie: the New Daily Cumulative Review! I cannot wait to share this incredible resource with my colleagues today! #OAME #scdsb #math
New Daily Cumulative Review questions have been posted for this week.
Addressing #math key concepts from Grades 3-8.
Great warm-up activity.

And yet not ONE person I point this out to is willing to stop using AI
SCDSB has admin mandating the use of AI with students as young as 6yo-even when teachers question harm/lack of safety regulations
ETFO is doing NOTHING to🛑AI use in primary classrooms
This is manufactured demand for AI in🏫s🤷🏻♀️
