Our Mathematician's Board

 

Our students have been excited about the addition of a math board in our classroom.  We will be including new information as we begin to each new unit of study.  During our recent math unit, we learned all about measurement.  The students assisted in the creation of a learning goal for our unit - "We are learning to measure."  We also encouraged the students to think about the BIG idea of measurement, and they created, "We can measure using different tools."  We worked together to create a success criteria.  Success criteria is explained to our students as, "How will we know we've done a good job."  We created three success criteria for our measurement unit.  Our mathematician's board also includes samples of student work, and photo documentation of our students at work.
