Which one doesn't belong?Flexible thinking in math allows you to play with numbers. In doing "Which one doesn't belong?" students are working on trying to think about questions from different perspectives. Students are sharing not only the obvious response, but also the not so obvious response. When students share their thinking with their peers, they have to practice their ability to explain their thinking clearly. Sharing their thinking also allows others students to see different ways of thinking about a problem. Plants and Plant GrowthStudents explored a variety of plants by using the the prompts...I see, I think..., and I wonder to dive into the world of plants. Sketching from the Inside OutStretching our brains by learning to draw from the inside out. The advantages... - the drawing is always done - 10 layers of textures or marks become a RICH drawing; 1 layer equals an outline - moving from symbolic drawings to observational drawings - learning to hold our drawing tool differently - learning to not erase because our brain will just make us draw the same line again - learning to move the paper, not our hand to change the marks - beginning to make a dictionary of marks - practicing value scale Comments are closed.
