Had so much fun today presenting at the @bcamt.bsky.social fall conference sharing the bank of Rosenthal prize lessons from @momath.bsky.social and giving attendees a little taste of one of my favorites...Tooti Tooti.

Who will I see there?
The BCAMT Fall Conference kicks off with BCAMT Executive members Darcy House, Susan Robinson, Michelle Chu and Kevin Dent each making the case for one tool, model or strategy that can be used to open up mathematics for all K-12 learners. bcamt.ca/fall2025/ #PSAday #bcedchat

Spent part of the morning working with a colleague to prep counting collections materials. Excited to introduce this rich math routine to her and her grade 1s tomorrow! #counting #countingcollections #matheducation

Hey math-ed friends here - do you have a link to or a document you can share of a numeracy framework for your jurisdiction (school, district, state/province, country)? Working on one for my local district with colleagues and we're interested in what is out there as inspiration! Thanks!

This space was buzzing all day as Vancouver elementary teachers were led and inspired by @katiewhite426.bsky.social to think about responses to assessment, involving kids in the response, and meaningful core competency reflections. 6 sessions in 4 days with various groups! It was AMAZING!

One more sleep to get to 4 days of learning and work with @katiewhite426.bsky.social! Can't wait!

Little bit of evening work helping train volunteer facilitators for Indigenous Ed Focus Day coming at the end of April. So happy this day will be fully in person for the whole district thanks to people stepping up to share the work.

I just deleted, "I appreciate how you are..." in formative feedback on a teacher candidate's learning journal and changed it to "you are....and that means..." My time with @katiewhite426.bsky.social this week and thinking about removing "I" from feedback is right up front in my brain!

Our 3rd and 4th days with @katiewhite426.bsky.social in the VSB brought together elementary Ts. Dug hard into S work looking for strengths FIRST. Good questions, meaningful conversations, and new collegial friendships forged. Can't wait to bring everyone back together in 2.5 months.Thank you, Katie!

Bring close to 30 sec Ts teachers together for an evening and a whole day, have them bring student work, feed them, and put @katiewhite426.bsky.social in front of them, you get rich conversations, tons of growth in assessment, and well tended seeds that will grow until we gather again in May!

Day 1 of digging into assessment in the VSB with @katiewhite426.bsky.social was great (of course)...though I only got to stay for 50% of it. Maybe tomorrow I'll remember to take pictures!
Appreciated the "Have a good class" from Katie as I left to teach TCs and discuss math assessment (good timing!)

I think the only time I might not wish for the weekend to extend itself is when Monday means the start of FOUR days of leaning into assessment practices with @katiewhite426.bsky.social.

Class 2 with elem TCs. Reflected on either @mathyawp.bsky.social's or @tracyzager.bsky.social's Ch 1 and Eddie Woo TED talk then wrote 12-word stories. Insightful. I really 'hear' Simone Weil in one.

Met my teacher candidates for their first elementary math methods class at UBC. I had a lot of fun and think they did too! No joke...I referenced @mathyawp.bsky.social, Marian Small, @mathforlove.bsky.social, @katiewhite426.bsky.social & @triangleman.bsky.social in one class! Ok..not hard!

Deployed to teach gr 4/5. Certain I recognized some students from last year in gr 3. Said so to start the day & no one blinked. Brought out a couple of math games and 3 students came up to me saying "you taught me last year and we played this game." Learning experiences create memories.

Today = gr 1 MathUP lesson demo, lunch time meet & greet which resulted in 2 teachers booking me for Rosenthal Prize lessons, & a meeting with primary staff who are inspired by Marian Small workshop and are doing inventory of manipulatives then making a proposal to purchase what they are missing.

Today in gr 1, I was asked "are you Terry Fox's family?"(common question). I said no but when I was their age, Terry was doing his run. I may have used the words "in those days we had house phones and phone books" to explain that my family would get calls at all hours asking "Is Terry home?"🙄

A teacher in a group I am facilitating with #spiralsofinquory told me that during a scanning interview a primary student finished telling how 2 adults show them they believe the kid will be a success and then said, "but shouldn't all adults do those things?" Yes, they should. @jhalbert.bsky.social

Always happy to introduce new math games to students and teachers. Today in grade 4 we played 2 games from Youcubed. Talked with the teacher about what the games revealed about student thinking and what that means for instruction. So much fun!
