Our first @rockwoodschools district-wide PD day of the year is underway at Rockwood Summit HS where our K-2 classroom teachers are diving deeper into fact fluency with Jenny Bay-Williams. Lots of great ideas for developing fluency beginning with concrete and shifting into the abstract! #NurturingLearning @rsdk5math
When you bring a math idol to the teachersβ¦ UV teachers know where itβs at! What a great day of learning with @MarianSmall @SavvasLearning @UthoffValleyAP

Mrs. Betzβs class is a great place to be!!! @Betz5thgraders
When learning is this awesome thereβs only one good word for it-beautiful!Mrs. Bettsβ 5th grade math class at Ballwin Elementary is a model of a math community! Students were engaged in collaborative problem-solving, only asking for assistance when they exhausted every idea. Students made their thinking visible, explained it to others and complimented each otherβs thinking! β€οΈ #NurturingLearning #WeAreRockwood @rsdk5math
When the first day of school is Monday and the materials teachers need arenβt quite the way they need them, you do whatever it takes and find some shade and start sorting! #caroffice #wedowhateverittakes @mathcoachdenise @mathcoachsteph

Last week during Rockwood Summer Academy at Stanton Elementary, third- through fifth-grade students participated in a martial arts demonstration, while second-graders enjoyed math and reading games with Dr. Carrie Tomc, Rockwood's K-5 coordinator of math! #WeAreRockwood

Teaching math by tricks must stop!
"It is our responsibility to ensure that students see the relevance and usefulness of mathematics, and a steady stream of tricks wonβt help convince them of this."
This month, NCTM President @kdykema addresses the use of tricks in the classroom: nctm.link/PKnw3
