MATHS BOARDS

       MATHS BOARDS

 In Numeracy we have been making Maths boards.

Maths boards are where you need to solve an equation in 4 different ways, visual solution, word problem, numeral solution and solve it another way. 

Here is an example.  

          

Jolly jolly, jolly jars

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others. 

Here is a Link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to have steps that are clear and easy to follow, verbs and correct spelling.

Reflection on PBL:

For our Jolly Jars my group made gift jars, gift jars are where there are three Different sets of zip lock bags with Materials and Instructions for three Different things to make. We did sock puppets, bookmarks and bracelets. 

I contributed to my group by bringing jars and all of the Materials we needed and also by writing the Instructions and putting the stuff in the jar and Decorating them.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because my group was the only group that thought of it and did it.

What I learned about working with others was lots of Communication and it was really hard to work with them if we weren't all together. 

How did we build community through our actions?, we helped by making my jolly jars and also by helping sell them.
