As the weather starts to warm up (FINALLY!) The teachers are beginning to amp up some of the challenging tasks in the classroom.
In maths, Magic Maths is in full swing. The students are learning all about the “Learning Pit” and how being challenged helps them to learn. Students complete open-ended maths tasks with enabling (supporting) and extending (challenging) prompts. They have enjoyed showcasing their newfound data and statistics knowledge through real-world problems. The aim of Magic Maths is for students to be able to articulate their reasoning and problem-solving strategies. See some of our awesome examples below.
Just a reminder to keep bringing recyclables for our Inquiry unit. We are after, foil, cling wrap/cellophane, cardboard (boxes and tubes) and reflective materials such as small mirrors or glossy/metallic paper.
