Math with Miss Weiss

Eliana and I met with the other DeLeT mentors yesterday, at JCDS- Boston.  We are always trying to learn how to be better mentors!

Miss Weiss taught classes in the AM.  The following is from Miss Weiss:

Yesterday in class fifth graders used their knowledge of fractions and
mixed numbers to solve real-world problems. First, they helped me
figure out my portion of a meal in which I split five appetizers
evenly among myself and two other people. Then students worked in
pairs to solve a slew of other challenging real-world word problems on
a variety of topics. In fact, the fifth graders were such math
superstars yesterday, they plowed through the assigned problems and
the problems I had intended to give them for homework all before the
end of the class period. Kol HaKavod, fifth graders! Keep up the good
work!
