Assessment and DF in small group. Feels like that's more important than independent deliberate practice. Tie for second! 🥈 Can't really envision quality math instruction without all 3 of those playing a major role. To be continued...

Words of encouragement from a terrific teacher! The team @cb_stirling has worked INCREDIBLY hard in math all year. Although the work is not done, it has been pretty cool to see how much of a difference a team of invested educators can make!

EQAO... Like or dislike and why?

I'm bothered when math is taught and assessed like this. Just memorize the procedure and regurgitate... Final mark on this section: 6.5/15. Final mark on the test: 50%. Big and bold on the page. Am I wrong to be really annoyed?

Is this the most important expectation in the Ontario math curriculum with the word 'fractions' in it?

I just keep coming back to how important multiple visual representations are in math. If your lesson isn't including a visual, you're doing something wrong.
