Week 2, the week of Understanding

Understanding how others see patterns.  We made posters.
This was the week of understanding. Understanding how others view patterns.
Understanding what happens when Rowena and Polly make trail mix (we were all surprised that they equally shared the mix). And understanding how best to arrange pennies so they are easy to count.
Your students are learning how to work better within their teams: sharing ideas, listening to one another, asking clarification questions.  It was a great week.  Some quotes I heard this week: "That was the best math class ever!"  "Class is over? Woah, that went by fast."
I really have the best job ever!  
Understanding a logic problem, using beans.  We mimicked what Polly and Rowena did to see what was really going on when Polly shared a scoop of peanuts with Rowena and then Rowena gave back a scoop that had raisins and peanuts.
