Bucket of Zeros

This morning I had the pleasure of working with some of our grade 7/8 teachers as they practiced using the bucket of zeros as a way of visualizing and making integer work concrete.

It was great to see the intentionality of the sequence that they are using, and how they plan to integrate bucket of zeros, and number lines, group practice and individual practice, and games and problem solving. It opened my eyes to what happens in grade 7/8! I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to sit in and work with them this morning.
