This week students explored the works of Greg Tang and dove into his book, The Best of Times. New strategies and ways to take up multiplication were on the forefront for us this week. A copy of these strategies from Tang's book were handed out during Student-Leds and placed on Edmodo. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions around how we are looking at multiplication!
Examples: Three Sum (x3), Four Eyes (x4), Nine Ball (x9)
We encourage them all to share these findings with their parents over the weekend. If you can teach a concept you solidify your own knowledge of the area of study.

Energy Diet Challenge is fast underway this week and students in grade 4 and 7 are working hard at completing their tasks prior to Spring Break. The challenges come to a close while we are on Spring Break so all submissions need to be in before March 22nd! Feel free to ask your son/daughter what challenge they are working on and lend a hand if they need help finding materials!
Some of the groups have chosen the same challenge so they have merged to strive towards the 15 point lesson. The students have shared a Google Doc with their partner to enable communication outside of the Energy Diet class time.

Thank you to all the parents and students for taking part in the Student Led Conferences. It is a wonderful opportunity for our students to be able to share their work with their families. It was nice to see so many parents and the excitement your children exhibited when leading you through the various spaces in the school.
