Double Digit Multiplication

Grade 5s recently shared their understanding of how to multiply double digits using the traditional algorithm. They were challenged to find a creative way to express their understanding. Students were then tasked with presenting their project to the class either as a whole class presentation or within a gallery walk. It was truly wonderful to witness their creativity and depth of knowledge.

St. John’s-Ravenscourt School was founded in 1820 principally to serve the children of the Selkirk settlers. By 1834 there were forty students, evenly split between boys and girls. SJR has inevitably grown and changed over the years since, though its success throughout has been unimpeachable. We have graduated 18 Rhodes scholars, for example, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II granted patronage and established a scholarship in her name in 1981. Today the programs are as strong as our reputation. A strong academic program is paired with an equally strong attention to the values of stewardship, ethical leadership, and excellence in all areas of academic, social and athletic life.
