Wranglers:

Watch this TED talk!

Talk me through what you were thinking as you watched. Were you amazed? In disbelief? Make you love math even more??

Then, with a partner, work through these problems on the white boards. Get finished? Here are more math games you can do!

 

Wrangle on,

Mrs. Teamann

This post is written for my 4th grade students that I meet with each week. We talk math, we talk leadership, and this week, we talked GRIT!

WWW,

Sometimes we react without thinking. We let ourselves get stressed out and we do or say something that we can later regret. The illustration of the cup overflowing was your favorite illustration from the above video. Your questions for this week (answer both in complete sentences!!) are:

1. What are the three things we can do in moments of STRESS that can help you NOT overflow?

2. What is YOUR cat hair?

 

I can’t wait to read and respond to each of you!

This post is written for my 4th grade students that I meet with each week. We talk math, we talk leadership, and this week, we again, talked GRIT!

Accepting that “experts” are made and not born has two results, one very sobering and the other liberating:

• It means that we are all responsible for our own levels of achievement – which can be scary!
• But at the same time it’s liberating, because it means that we also have the power to change it! We have the power to change our world!

 

You were also supposed to write down as many uses as you can think of for the following two items.

1. a brick

2. a blanket

Now, I want you to list them here on the blog so that I can see what you listed.

 

Do you have any thoughts about the chapter Mrs. White read to you from “Multipliers”? We’ll discuss it even more next week because I want to hear what you think! Thanks, gang!  Thank you for being well behaved with Mrs. White today!
