Math Catchers visited Argyle Secondary where we met students from Grades 9 and 11. Our host was Mrs. Brigette Gerandol, a math teacher.

This is from Mrs. Gerandol:

Good Evening Dr. J

Thanks again for the great morning with my classes in North Vancouver. We really enjoyed your presentation including all the puzzles and the hands on activities. 

I was in a grade three/four class today and I did the hands counting activity with powers of two. It was a great activity for adding integers. The higher level thinkers also used subtraction of the numbers to reach their numbers so great to see the students using different strategies. 

I have included the link to my blog for your portfolio: http://www.blog44.ca/bgerandol/2014/10/07/math-catchers-with-dr-j/

Keep up the great work! If you have time in the spring we'd love to have you back for the 9H hexasticks project.

Thanks again!
