PROBLEM SOLVING - MATHS
CLICK ON LINK BELOW TO WATCH OUR VIDEO
In Room 17 we work in groups of 3-4 to complete a maths problem. The students are given a word problem, have to look for clues in the problem to help them solve it, come up with mathematical proof, which can be in written form, diagrams or drawings. Next they try & solve the problem the most efficient way (multiplicative thinking if applicable), then for reflection they talk about the Learning Pit. Here is Caiden explaining on behalf of his group.
Check out this link to see the group's reflections on their learning.

Here are some of the students using materials to help work out the problem. Nica and Luis used a divider to show the line of symmetry and this helped with rotating their design. NGA AKONGA KAHA (Active Learners).

I enjoyed watching everyone tackle the word problem today. You demonstrated mathematical thinking, creativity and the ability to participate and contribute within your groups. Ka pai!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit challenging for the children but looks they did well... I believe they can use those problem solving skills not only in math but also in other learning. Good job.
