Math Class Experiment!



I'm looking forward to our new experiment in the P7V math class. It's a great co-incidence that I've recently enrolled in my Chartered Teacher Numeracy module, and I'm getting lots of ideas from listening to and taking part in some great online 'discussions' about the way forward in this area.


The pupils have chosen their 'problem solving buddies' - groups of 3. We're going to choose group names using mathematical language words ..... the denominators? the parallelograms? the protractors? .... who knows - watch this space!

We've aslo spent some time getting to know our new MP3 players and the groups have already had some success editing a recording themselves using 'Audacity'. We're hoping to use a Thursday ICT suite slot to add some podcasts to our new math group wikispaces.
