This week as we prepared for our school's math night, we celebrated Math Week!We asked the class 'What is Math?' and they came up with some fantastic and deep ideas.
Here are some of our favourite games, puzzles, mini lessons, and meaningful problems from the week.
Lego Math
1 student made trees out of Lego. He figured out how to make the tree trunks using the number 4. He used different blocks to make 4.
4 Block
2 Block and 2 Block2 Block and 1 Block and 1 Block
1 and 1 and 1 and 1
Another student compared Lego. She found important numbers called doubles on the blocks with 2,4,6, or 8 dots on it.
1 and 1 makes 2
2 and 2 makes 4
3 and 3 makes 6
4 and 4 makes 8.
Unifix Cubes
We used our measuring strings to see how tall or how short people are. We used the cubes to measure our strings to find the tallest.We had a colour survey and asked people what colour was their favourite. We used the unifix cubes to show what we found out. Most people in our class like blue. Green, red, and orange were a tie.
Locked Out!A Wizard locked us out of Character Land! We needed 12 different keys using 5 bricks to get back in! We worked together and solved the problem!
What a Cake!
Our Bakery had a cake delivered by the Wizard! It is so big it almost touches the ceiling! We measured it with red blocks.
Students visited the Art centre and made structures out of popsicle sticks. We then had to figure out what 2D shapes and 3D solids we used to make our structures.
How Far...
You throw the bean bag and see which number it goes on. It could land on 30 , 40, 20 or 50. The smallest throw was 0 and the biggest throw was 50.
Can you jump? We stand at the line and then you jump as far a you can go. Then you can see what number you landed on. The shortest jump was 10 and the farthest jump was 28!
