Last Friday we had some lovely Te Putake kids learning with us. In small groups the students worked together to solve a mathematical problem about MEASUREMENT.
The learning goal was to:
- Measure using cm.
- Solve problems using minutes as the unit.
- Use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically.
The students were told that this was a DISCUSS and DEFEND problem where they needed to think carefully about ways they could solve the problem, DISCUSS together and then DEFEND their solutions. This was a challenging activity but the students perservered and worked hard to try and figure out the best path for Sally the Snail. Why don’t you give it a go at home?
