Yesterday, we discussed what our classroom environment should be like during math time. We agreed that it is of utmost importance to feel safe during math to take risks. We agreed that if we never make mistakes, we are not learning, and that we will encourage each other to be risk-takers. We are also going to be open-minded by listening to others explain their thinking and by trying new strategies to solve problems. As a class, we wrote the following 5 agreements for math:
1. We agree to be on task.
2. We agree to be kind.
3. We agree to take risks and make mistakes safely because that is how we learn.
4. We agree to treat school materials appropriately.
5. We agree to be responsible for our actions.
If we follow these agreements, we will have a fantastic and productive year in math!
I like these agreements and I think they are good ones. from Matthew

We agreed to be on task because if you are not then your work will not be done on time.
