Representing our thinking

 Today we worked in groups to figure out a math problem. We had to find which chocolate bars would be bigger than one whole alien chocolate bar. In our groups we had to think of as many ways as we could to find a bar bigger than 1 whole. We all collaborated by sharing our ideas and justifying how we knew our bar was bigger than 1 whole. It was amazing to see that every group represented their mathematical thinking in a different way. We had drawings, symbols, and writing. 

It was amazing to see all the different thinking. 

Respectful Board games

 For the last week we have been collaborating on creating our own respectful board games. We have worked really hard to make sure our games are fun, they show all the ways we can be respectful and that they are creative. Today we finally got to play our board games. We had great fun, especially when we picked up a challenge card that was not respectful and we had to go to detention. It was great to play each others games and see what ideas they had used on their challenge cards.
