Documentation and Visibility of Student Thinking
Area(s) of Focus: math, technologyDivision(s): JuniorLevel(s): Grade 5, Grade 6Resource(s) Available:We intentionally developed lessons as opportunities for making student thinking more visible. Debriefing lessons using student work recorded on technology allowed all parties to identify misconceptions, give feedback and assess student thinking.

Using Three-Act Math and Technology to Improve Student Engagement and Increase Conceptual Understanding in Mathematics
Area(s) of Focus: math, technologyDivision(s): IntermediateLevel(s): Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8Resource(s) Available:Having experienced success with Three-Act Math, we were interested in pursuing more time to research and create a teacher-friendly Resource of Three-Act Math and related online activities. This resource would align to the Ontario Math Curriculum.
