#MathisMyJam

Students need to see, model, and reason about what multiplication means. This will allow students to see that multiplication is combining equal groups, not just a set of random facts to memorize. Video of my favorite way to intro multiplication in 3rd! #mathismyjam

3rd grade Unit 3 is all about relating multiplication to division. So it’s time to bring out those same manipulatives to make the connection with the inverse operation! #handsonlearning #mathismyjam

Our Coaches Academy session opener was super engaging! Coaches had to study the contents of each box to determine the math expectation. 🤔 Any guesses? #manipulatives #mathismyjam

There are so many fun uses for Playdoh in the math classroom. #mathismyjam #fractions

The room is set & ready to welcome our K-2 Math teachers for our first Teaching & Learning Thursday of the year! Im excited 🎉! 🍁 #MathisMyJam #ElementaryMath

We are back at it again with our free tape! This time to review area and perimeter. Ss worked in pairs to make rectangles (or shapes made from rectangles). Then they counted, used multiplication and/or addition to determine the area/perimeter. #mathismyjam #gmasreview

Living in metro ATL (population > 1 million), it’s hard for Ss to imagine that some GA counties only have a few thousand residents! Love the conversations that come from this comparing numbers activity. #mathismyjam #elementarymath

Super simple and engaging whole-group line/dot plot. Supplies- plates, tape, paper. We used the learning plan- What’s in a name?@GaDOEMath #mathismyjam

A shower curtain liner + plates = Connect 4. Use it to gamify any review . #thirdgrade #mathismyjam

We want to give Ss chances to use a variety models and representations to extend their understanding of part-whole reasoning & the relationship between +/-. #thirdgrademath #mathismyjam #elemmath

A few people asked where to find the Assessment Item Bank answer keys. 🤔 Here’s a quick how-to! #mathteacher #mathismyjam

I’m in my K-2 era! Prepping the cutest Halloween themed counting collection! #MathisMyJam #ElementaryMath

First day of multiplication! *Sharing some favorites from last year! #multiplication #3rdgrade #mathismyjam

We have reached unit 5 in 4th grade! It’s time for all things angles! 📐 Students had so much fun making these table tape designs! Then they switched tables to identify angles. #sbcebobcats #mathismyjam

The first few days of division look a lot like the first few days of multiplication. 😊 The students can quickly see the connection. #division #multiplication #mathismyjam

Real-world division practice. Students have to divide an allowance amount evenly among the kids in each family. 💵💰#mathismyjam

I will be bringing these review sorts back out this year for GMAS review! #mathismyjam

These sorts were a huge hit (AGAIN) this year! So much so… I promised the kids I’d make a couple other sets for Monday! #mathismyjam

My students said they’ve “Got it!” when it comes to line/dot plots. 😍 #mathismyjam

Throwback to that year when 3rd grade teachers had to tackle some 4th grade standards with ALL students. 🤯 Imagine introducing multiplication one week… & then jumping to up 4D × 1D a few weeks later. 🙃 Thank goodness for manipulatives—always the lifesaver! #mathismyjam
