Week of Inspirational Math

This morning we began our Week of Inspirational Math by looking quickly at a dot card,  Most students recognized that it added up to 6.  We learned that our brains grow and change and that there is no such thing as a 'math brain'. Many of us visualized the dots differently and that is okay! Our hope is that students will see math as creative and visual (not just numbers!).  We will continue our journey over the next few days:) You can find more information about Inspiring Math here.

We watched a video about math brains and how everyone does indeed have one! Before embarking on a group activity, the class created the following anchor chart about what a successful math group would look and sound like:
