@HWCDSB primary sci teachers! New to the LMS page: grade specific, curric-aligned docs that summarize the coding resources available on the Sci K-3 LMS page (organized by strand). Everything you need to continue coding with your #littlecoders next year! #stem #newyear

Using @desmosclassroom to actively engage students with transformations. Students thought it was so cool that they were able to manipulate shapes using translations, reflections and rotations and immediately see the outcome.#whenmathisexciting @hwcdsbmathk8 @NGMBowen

Sometimes I get a chance to support teachers with #stem... Check out this program created by a Gr 4 student @hnojces for the light & sound unit using @scratch She learned about broadcasting msgs & made this in 30min! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽@HWCDSB


Exploring area with the Gr 3s in Mrs. DiDomenico's class. Ss estimated areas of everyday objects then used #polydrons to measure the actual area. Ss learned to predict the area when there weren't enough squares to cover the whole shape. @hwcdsbmathk8 @hnojces

Glad to see the activity continues to be useful!

Hey @NGMBowen, someone in my #oame2024 session (@Libramlad was it you?) shared with me that you do a Which One Doesn’t Belong routine with @ScratchJr I love it! 😻 Is that shareable?

Things are rolling steady at the @HWCDSB Math Challenge event at @brcsschool!! Resiliency, teamwork, and collaboration at its finest! @oectahw @hwcdsbmathk8 @NGMBowen


Had the best time w/ Gr 3s @hnojces catching Pokemon! Ss used the tiles as a grid today to code a path to catch a Pokemon of their choice. Ss worked on 1/4 & 1/2 turns cw & ccw 🕒🕕. Some Ss found multiple paths & analyzed efficiency too! Great work #littlecoders! @hwcdsbmathk8

Some great discovery coding with this class! Looking at external and internal angles of 2D shapes. 😎

Using Scratch to help our Grade 6 Ss @hnojces code. Thank you @NGMBowen ! @hwcdsbmathk8

#polydrons in Gr 6 @steuces! Some Ss were challenged to build 3D shapes as a unit intro. Had convos about what makes a shape a prism vs a pyramid & what the parts of the shape are called. Small group worked on using nets to help determine surface area. @hwcdsbmathk8 @HWCDSB

All hands-on math today @hnojces! Gr 3 3D exploration with #polydrons. Probability intro with Gr 6, dice & coins. Skyscraper puzzles to stretch Gr 6 minds. Division with coloured tiles for Gr 3. Looking for more hands-on ideas? Check out the @HWCDSB math LMS page! @hwcdsbmathk8

Real world math with these Gr 3s @hnojces! Working thru division with a loot bag party problem. Great convos, collaboration, and so much enthusiasm. Manipulatives, pics, and #vnps worked so well. Proud of these little mathematicians! 🤯💪🏽@hwcdsbmathk8

Gr 3s @hnojces used coloured tiles to represent fractions in a set. They then rearranged the tiles to demonstrate equivalent fractions. Building that visual understanding early on is so important! Loved listening to their reasoning 😍👂... So many unique strategies! @hwcdsbmathk8

Coding at every grade @stfxces! Gr 4/5 learning to use @SpheroEdu Minis. Gr 5 learned about the inputs/outputs of @microbit_edu #microbits. Gr 2/3 coding club explored broadcasting messages on @scratch Gr 3s explored changing number patterns on @scratch @hwcdsbmathk8 @HWCDSB 💻

Had a great time co-teaching w/ Mrs. DiDomenico @hnojces today! We co-created a fair-share fractions lesson on @mathigon Polypad & these Gr 3s impressed w/ their Q's, process, & extensions. They even threw in equivalent fractions! 🤯 Proud of these great 🧠s! @hwcdsbmathk8

Check out the incredible Ms. Garrett bringing joy, curiosity, & wonder into science class! These Ss will never forget this experience. These are the moments that spark the love of STEM in kids! They are so lucky to have you!! Thanks for sharing this engaging activity!🤩 @HWCDSB

Experiential Learning in action! Ms. Garrett surprised her Grade 1’s with varying representations of the Big Bad Wolf’s “huff and puff” to test out strength of their Structures. Most 🏠 held up for 1. big breaths 2. hair dryer 3. leaf blower! 💨 🐺 #STEM @NGMBowen

Knowledgehook Tips for Teachers! Enhance your students’ math education through gamification. I find that just 5-10 minutes before a math lesson helps activate prior knowledge and prime students for new learning. @knowledgehook⁩ ⁦is a game changer! Thank you @joe_sisco⁩!

Congrats to all these amazing educators! Make sure to share all the wonderful things you do with your prizes! 🤩 Stay tuned for the next contest...

Congratulations!🎉👏🏅@LeahFacchin @mel_teach @hnojces @anthony_ces @stvpces @sofiamattachini @msilva88 winners of the @hwcdsb manipulatives contest! Your prizes will arrive shortly!



Gr 4 & 5 coding club @stfxces! Ss are beginning to explore #microbits & all they have to offer. Quote: 'This has been the funnest thing I've done all day! I can't wait to tell my dad!' 🤩 @HWCDSB @hwcdsbmathk8 @microbit_edu
