March 6-PLC (Active Exploration: Math)


PLC notes

Lisa Thibeau
Terra Xavier
Jen Arruda
Anica Robinson

Terra presented a lesson on Area that she did with her students.  Within the lesson the students demonstrated their understanding of area using Explain Everything.

Within the student work, there was evidence of students varying levels of understanding.  Through the explanations it was clear what the learning had been and which concepts needed to be revisited.  Students also demonstrated connections to other mathematical concepts that were articulated in the explanations that they gave of their work.

Throughout the unit on area, students are learning about how area helps to inform how things are built in our world.  The students will be furthering their understanding by building a Lego city that will allow students to demonstrate through this engaging learning experience.
