Maths = Creativity & Sense Making

Funded Nov 8, 2023

Thank you all so much for your generous contributions to our support math class! All of the students have been excited to learn new skills, build friendships while learning and playing new games and experiencing maths in engaging and active ways.

We will continue to learn how to play Proof! and Prime Climb as our mental math skills grow. The partnerships formed while playing, checking to see if your partner is correct further grows both their metacognitive and mathematical discourse abilities. Our class is showing both skills through Sets, Chess and Checkers as they continue to learn strategies and rules.

The ability to listen, read and follow directions are crucial skills supporting self-advocacy and independence. We see these being flexed while students are working through origami, models and problem-solving while playing.

Socially, the collaborative interactions which are captured are so important in our schools.”

With gratitude,
