It's Hip to be Square

It's hip to be square, if you are a square number, that is!  Ms. Madden's class was in the groove today learning about square numbers.  Ms. Madden was doing an awesome job reminding her class about the definition of a square number and the difference between 3 squared and 3 times 2.

We all know how important wait time is when asking quesitons and Ms. Madden did an excellent job waiting for all of her students to formulate an answer to the question before calling on someone.   I also loved that her room is arranged so that she is able to instruct the class while walking around to see that everyone is participating and following along on their paper with the correct answers.

Teach on, Ms. Madden!  Way to teach those squares!
