White board with a document camera projecting an image of a 10-sided dice showing the number 4. On one side of the white board, students' scores for a game are listed. On the other side is a record of all the dice rolls made during the game.
Recording sheet for a game called Don't Break the Bank. In Round 1, the students doubled 7 twice to get 28. In Round 2, the students doubled 5 twice to get 20. In Round 3, the students doubled 3 once to get 6. In Round 4, the students doubled 9 twice to get 36. In Round 5, the students doubled 4 twice to get 16. In Round 6, the students doubled 2 three times to get 16. In Round 7, the students doubled 7 twice to get 28. Their total for the game is 150, which is exactly the bank.
Photo of a classroom with desks and children. One desk has a piece of paper propped on top. The paper has a drawing of a child sitting in a chair with a speech bubble that says, "Hi, I'm Paul."

Slide projected on a white board. The slide shows an image of blue dots some of which are covered by two black blobs. There are 4 dots not covered by either blob. One blob has been made transparent so you can see 4 dots underneath. The second blob is still solid black. Next to the image are equations showing students' guesses about how many blue dots there are in all.
Table showing a math game in progress. On the far side of the table, a student is counting tiles that are being evenly grouped onto two small rectangles of construction paper. On the near side of the table is a recording sheet, a die, and additional small rectangles of construction paper.
Slide projected on a white board. The slide is divided in half. The left side says: Tim has 3 packs of markers. Each pack has 12 markers. Which equation can be used to find the total number of markers, n, that Tim has? A 12 times n is 3 B 3 times 12 is n C 3 plus n is 12 D 12 divided by 3 is n Answer choice B is circled. The right side says: Tim has 3 packs of markers. Each pack has 12 markers. He gives 8 of the markers to his sister and 3 of the markers to his brother. Write an equation that can be used to find the total number of markers, n, that Tim has. There are two equations written: The product of 12 times 3 minus 8 minus 5 is n The product of 12 times 3 minus the sum of 8 and 5 is n
Slide projected on a white board. The slide is titled "Science Sticky Practice" and contains five questions that review previously-taught science concepts and vocabulary: 1. the ability to make things move or change 2. The function of the electrical system is to provide _____ of energy to people to use. 3. A _____ converts energy from a source into electrical energy that goes into the electrical system. 4. type or kind (of energy) 5. Wires can _____ electrical energy from place to place.
Small white board. At the top is written 15 divided by 4. Underneath four boxes are drawn. There are 4 cubes in the first 3 boxes and 3 cubes in the final box.
Computer screen projected on a white board. The screen is titled "Same and Different". There are four quadrants labeled A, B, C, and D. They each have a division expression: 15/3 15/4 16/3 16/4 There are annotations written on the white board capturing similarities and differences students have shared.
