Number Talks and Microscopes

Today in Grade 5/6 we started our "Number Talks" for the year. The kids loved it! Number Talks are discussions over equations in which we ask the students to perform the Math required to solve these equations in their heads, and then share our strategies on how we reached our answers. It's really interesting to see how differently we all think, yet are still able to reach the same answer. The hope is that the students will increase their love of Math and build their skills at the same time.

We also explored an onion cell under a microscope. The students prepared their own "onion slides" and were able to see different structures of the cell. Very fun! We also explored cells further on our chromebook through a kid's Web quest.
