On Thursday, April 9, 2026, we visited Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary School in the South Los Angeles area for an open lesson in a 3rdgrade math class. During the “Going Green” lesson, students showed various problem-solving strategies, collaborative interactions, and argumentation skills. Thanks tothe California Action Network for Mathematics Excellence and Equity()Ի Kyndall Brown’s leadership for this amazing opportunity. Special thanks to Susie Håkansson and Brent Jackson for their outstanding efforts organizing this event. We deeply appreciate the lesson study team who made it possible for 27 people to observe math thinking in action and learn from students. We are happy that members of the SIG-RME joined us in this event and we hope that this is the beginning of future collaborative events. We sent math stickers to the students who participated in the lesson on our behalf.
