I had the pleasure of being in both grade 2 and grade 5 this week, both for Mathematics. Students in grade 2 were unpacking their understandings about 2D shapes on 3D boxes. The students are having opportunities to explore shapes shapes and their relationships. The are benefitting from problem-solving situations, investigating patterns and structures of 3D shapes and developing reasoning within spatial context.

In grade 5 students were looking at Number Operations and how to solve problems when part of the problem is missing. The ability to make sense of number operations depends on the foundational understanding that every operation tells a story.
