Want to learn more about the High Impact Instructional Practices in Math? Join @vw001.bsky.social and I to learn how to help students build key math skills such as problem solving and tips to integrate small group instruction into your teaching! #ocsbMath #ocsbSummerInstitutes

Grade 5s coded Rock, Paper, Scissors simulators using #microbits and then their teacher organized a bracket tournament!

Some outdoor math with Grade 3s today! We measured the perimeter and area of some “puddles” with string, measuring tapes, and sit spots (nonstandard units).

📚 Did you know that #OCSBKindergarten classrooms include both Year 1 and Year 2 students? This unique mix allows older learners to support their younger peers in learning routines, transitioning smoothly through the day, and building confidence in early #ocsbMath and #ocsbLiteracy skills. 🌟

It was so fun to present with @mrsdallasocsb.bsky.social at #SpringIntoTheOutdoors! We had lots of fun sharing how to turn micro:bits into hidden treasure! Let's explore outdoors! #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbMath @mrsmarsocsb.bsky.social

Our Wolf class is exploring different math concepts through cooperative games, puzzles and play-based activities #ocsbMath #ocsbKindergarten #ocsb

Looking at distractors in multiple choice questions today in Grade 3! Each group had to justify why each option was or wasn’t the answer on their whiteboards. #ocsbMath #ocsb #EQAO

A small child counts tiny nails on a painted table

"Mama, I have 8 nails: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!" - There are so many spontaneous ways to support counting principles (e.g. one-to-one correspondence, stable order, etc) and early numeracy! #ocsbMath

Students can use mathigon.org and Polypad to hone their multiplication skills! There are fluency cards as well as d12 dice to practice facts! #ocsbMath #math #Polypad #FactFluency

Grade 6 students looked at pseudocode and how they can use it to interpret and plan programs. They looked at some EQAO examples and coded an area calculator in Scratch for CS First! #ocsbMath #math #ocsbSTEAM #CSFirst #Scratch #EQAO #coding

Did you know you can use Cuisenaire rods to teach algebra? Students can use them to show equalities and then sub values into algebraic expressions to solve! #ocsbMath #Cuisenaire #ocsb

Now that Term 2 is under way, are you wondering how you can support your K-6 child's math learning at home? The OCSB has their OCSB Math At Home Website ready for families! Scan the QR code or visit bit.ly/3ze6YvG

Python code for our pixel mushroom displayed on the emulator!

M finished her Astro:Pi Mission Zero submission this week! She designed her mushroom and we converted it to python! Soon we will learn more about her code's run on the ISS! 🚀👩‍🚀 Learn more about AstroPi by checking out the STEAM WEEK events in the Educator Updates! #ocsbMath @mrsmarsocsb.bsky.social

A child is counting pink Christmas bows by pointing to each one.

When you buy more Christmas bows sometimes it can be so exciting to count the pink ones! It was a great way to practice our one-to-one correspondence and cardinality! #ocsbMath #ocsbKindergarten
