Use this video to introduce students to this Habit of Mind by showing how what they already know can help them solve new and more complex problems. The narrator explains that prior knowledge is a powerful resource, especially when students feel stuck or believe a task is too difficult. By reminding children to recall simpler problems they've solved or experiences they've had, the video models how to transfer learning and build confidence. It also emphasizes that using past knowledge is a creative act, helping learners form analogies and apply familiar ideas to unfamiliar situations in meaningful ways. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.

Choose any topic you're teaching and have students generate three "wonder questions." Invite them to share one with a partner, then select a few to guide class discussion. Give students small index cards and have them write or draw one thing they are grateful for that day. They should say something specific, not general (for example, "My friend helped me understand fractions" instead of "my friends"). Collect the cards and create a class gratitude wall. Set up three short challenge stations (puzzles, STEM building tasks, brainteasers). Have students rotate through each one and practice using perseverance strategies, such as breaking a task into smaller steps or trying a new approach. Afterward, they can reflect on which strategy helped them the most and how they can apply it in academic tasks.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Paper Snowflake Generator is an interactive online tool that allows students to create virtual paper snowflakes by cutting out shapes and patterns, just like traditional paper snowflake crafts. This tool is ideal for art, geometry, and symmetry lessons, as it allows students to explore rotational symmetry, patterns, and design concepts in a fun and hands-on way. It's ideal for classrooms with limited supplies or those incorporating digital learning activities. To "cut" the paper away, draw polygons (closed shapes) representing scissor cuts over the triangle on the drawing board to the right. Draw a polygon by clicking on the board to create vertices, and close the polygon by clicking on the first vertex. Teachers can integrate it into math lessons on fractions, symmetry, and transformations, or use it as a creative winter-themed activity. Encourage figurative language (similes, metaphors, personification) to describe their snowflake. Assign a math investigation where students explore fractions and angles in their snowflake designs.
tag(s): fractions (158), geometric shapes (130), snow (22), symmetry (29)
In the Classroom
Have students create digital snowflakes and analyze their lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. Ask students to count the number of folds and cuts, then predict the final shape before revealing it. After designing snowflakes, students can write a poem inspired by their creation. Students can present their findings in a short math reflection and could create a class collection in Google Slides reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
