Ms. Harrington's Kindergarten mathematicians at Lindley model number relationships with physical number bonds.

Mr. Grenon at Lindley led his 7th grade mathematicians in a discussion about student strategies for finding the area of part of a circle. This student work shows understanding of how the part relates to the whole circle.

Mr. Allen's 3rd grade mathematicians at Lindley explored unit fractions by dividing various objects into equal parts. Amazing discussions justifying their partitions!

Mrs. Ross at Tacony facilitated a discussion about her 3rd graders' attempts to cut a paper into 6 equal pieces. What do you notice? Are these pieces equal? How do you know?

Powerful questioning by Mrs. Troiani today... T: Is there a pattern? S: No because there's no straight line. T: If I bought a 6000-lb truck, could you guess the fuel efficiency? S: Yes. T: Is there a pattern? S: Oh yeah, the heavier the truck, the lower the efficiency!

Mr. Allen's 3rd grade mathematicians at Lindley constructed viable arguments and critiqued the reasoning of others as they made sense of the distributive property.

Ms. Cafaro led her 9th grade students in a fantastic discussion about these graphs. How are they different, and how can you decide which best represents the weight of a truck that can hold up to 200 cubic feet of concrete?
