Mathematics is about far more than numbers - and certainly must include more than lists of rules. In her book What's Math Got to Do With It?, Jo Boaler describes math as
a human activity, a social phenomenon, a set of methods used to help illuminate the worldSecond graders at Spring Creek are exploring how mathematics can be used to illustrate simple stories. More specifically, they are crafting stories involving combinations of 10. Perhaps you can tell what time of day these were recorded by all the references to sleep. /grin

Dear Chris,
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to Spring Creek School to film us and make movies of our friends. We are proud of the movie stars and our hard work. We liked watching students act out their stories and add the cubes.
We miss you! Have a good day!
