Today group 3 was given the same mathematical problem as Group 4 were given previously. However, their problem was put into a different context. As you can see from the video the group were new to problem solving so they found it hard to talk to each other at first to try to solve the problem. As the video goes on you'll see they start to communicate and work together. This is only a small snippet of the work they did. They are sure to get better and better as they become more experienced with using mathematical talk and relying on each other within the group. Please check back regulaly to see how much they progress :)

The problem: On a picnic at Totara Park there are three classes with eighteen students in each class. There are only allowed to be a maximum of 60 students swimming in the pool at one time. Will all three classes be able to swim together?
(we discussed what maximum means so that the problem was accessible to all the students)
Well done, Group 3 - I thought it was great that you all started working together to solve the problem. That is a really effective way to learn - by learning off each other. Keep up the fantastic work!
ReplyDeletewell done group 3 I think that you guys are more better then us well done you guys
