This week's Math focus
This week's Math focus is on the Math Journals with students being given the opportunity to reflect on their learning. Our lessons should engage students in meaningful lessons that include a "hook" that will get students excited to learn! Classrooms should have manipulatives to ensure that students are able to progress from concrete, to pictorial and then move to abstract thinking to connect procedural to conceptual understanding.

❏ Anchor / reference charts
