One of my favourite ways to use is learning phonemes. Ss write as many words as they can think of with a certain sound (here it is the long a) and then show which letters make the sound, then we consolidate by Ss explaining all the possible letter combos

Got to observe a MCV4U (Calc&Vectors) exam with Mike Skeoch today.
Students were smiling.
Less stress.
More thinking.
Actual learning on display.
Math is a collaborative human activity. We should teach and assess it that way.

Observing a “Crater Lab” today in MTH1W.
Drop a play dough asteroid into a tray of flour from various heights. Measure the diameter of the crater. What do you notice?

Kinder isn't always ideal or very mathematically focused but sometimes a task just hits! The simple task of building a snowman and counting each item type engaged them for 45 mins and we had our best consolidation yet! Peter Liljedahl

I'm so thankful for the updated consolidation and notes. I used to hear crickets when it came to consolidation and Ss struggled to make notes. Now Ss engagement and confidence is ⬆️ through a 90 minute class. Peter Liljedahl

Less is more. Instead of giving 20 problems, try 5 or fewer. Find ways to dig deep into concepts, expand to include other ideas, discuss common misconceptions, let students collaborate and share different approaches.

I have noticed that when I box work with my red marker to look at during consolidation that group celebrates and is proud their work will be highlighted to class before the end of the block
