During math today we worked in partners to create a Show Me presentation to solve, explain and show our work. We solved an extended response question for chapter 8 which dealt with fractions, division, subtraction, and money. The question we solved is below and a link with all of the Show Me Presentations is also included. We hope you enjoy the presentations just as much as we did!

After a nice long weekend, we hit the ground running today in room 107. During math today we used Pear Deck to learn how to do "Bow-Tie Multiplication". We have learned several ways to multiply numbers these past few weeks. Students have enjoyed learning to multiply "BIG NUMBERS". We also participated in our Guided Math Routine. Similar to Daily 5 students work independently while I work with a small group of students. During this type some student chose to work on Front Row (Please see our previous blog post regarding Front Row). In literacy we learned about past, present, and future verbs. We began the lesson by taking a short quiz using a program called Socrative. Socrative provides the students and I immediate results of their performance and allows students to work at their own pace. I shared the students "grade" with them. We then completed a verb scoot. A scoot is a fun activity that allows us to move around the classroom answering various questions. After discussing these questions, we finished the lesson by taking the quiz again. We compared our first quiz to the quiz after learning more about past, present and future verbs. Guess what? Almost all of us did better. We were so proud of our accomplishments and our ability to compare our data. Today we used Pear Deck on our Chrome Books to review for tomorrow's math test. Check out our Twitter for pictures of us in action.
https://twitter.com/mmariconda1 With our pilot program right around the corner, we are spending some time discussing how we plan to use technology appropriately. Today we used Padlet to create a board using "digital sticky-notes" with all of our different ideas. Are you familiar with using QR codes? I have begun to "dabble" into them and have found them SUPER cool! If you haven't used them before, you can download a "QR Reader" to your phone or tablet and scan any code. I have attached my very first QR code which links you to a YouTube video of I Wanna Iguana, which is our story this week. If you wouldn't mind taking a moment to comment below regarding your thoughts about QR codes, I would greatly appreciate. I would love to hear some parent feedback!
