Post 2: Math in Action at Chapmanville Intermediate!
Great things are happening in Mrs. Maggie Farley’s 2nd grade classroom at Chapmanville Intermediate School!
During today’s math lesson, students weren’t simply asked to find an answer, they were encouraged to think like mathematicians. Ms. Farley began by asking students to identify what the problem was actually asking them to find. Students then discussed different strategies they could use before putting their thinking into action with hands-on manipulatives.
Throughout the lesson, students were engaged, thinking, talking about math, and building a deeper understanding of the concepts they were learning.
Just as impressive was the classroom environment. Ms. Farley’s excitement and enthusiasm for teaching were contagious! Students were encouraged to celebrate their hard work, even giving themselves a “pat on the back” for a job well done.
This is what we love to see in our classrooms: students thinking, problem-solving, using multiple strategies, and having fun while learning!
