Solving real world problems in math can be challenging for many students. They need to translate the situation into the language of math Teachers often resort to helping children solve textbook problems by providing word cues. For example, teachers might tell their students that if a problem says “altogether,” they are supposed to add, or […]
Healthy Snack Cooking Show
In science, we were learning about human body systems and how they are interrelated. Then Taiwan had an outbreak of covid-19 cases so we had to start doing our classes on-line. Our teacher then created a project for us to do a healthy snack cooking show, It teaches people how to make healthy snacks. Eating […]
Bob’s Outfit Choices – Probability Project
In math, we were learning about probability. Probability is a type of math that relates to numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur We explored probability by using tree diagrams for finding the possible number of outcomes when you more than one event. Below is the example scenario I created to demonstrate […]
Parents – How to Support with Google Classroom
What is Google Classroom? Google Classroom is the platform we use to host all daily assignments and due dates for students. Some summative and formative work is actually completed on Google Classroom, but sometimes the assignments just contain the instructions and resources, as students might be completing the assignment elsewhere, such as their subject notebook. […]
6 Bricks, Infinite Chicks
In math class, the students had a geometry challenge. They were given 6 lego bricks. The challenge was to use the same 6 bricks to create as many different chicks as they could within a limited time (15 minutes). Some students were able to make 60 different chicks while other groups were able to make […]
Extreme Weather – Criterion D – The Impact of Science
In science, we learned about extreme weather. Each student researched a different type of extreme or “severe” weather condition. Some students learned about typhoons, others learned about droughts, while others learned about tornadoes and blizzards like the two articles that are featured below. Students learned about these storms and the damage they cause; where […]
Extreme Weather – Droughts
Have you ever lived in a city in which there was a water shortage? That can be very inconvenient and in some cases, scary or even life-threatening. In science, we were learning about EXTREME WEATHER. Students chose different weather conditions to inquire about. Then each student created his/her own article describing that weather condition. Below […]
Weather Data Report
In science class, we have been studying about WEATHER. We learned about the 6 factors of weather: temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind, clouds, and precipitation. We were able to collect daily weather data from January and February 2021. After we collected our data, we compared the morning weather data to the afternoon weather data. Below […]
How to Multiply and Divide Mixed Fractions
In math class, we are learning about fractions, specifically How to Multiply and Divide Mixed Numbers. So I made a how-to video about this skill. It was quite difficult because I didn’t realize how difficult it is to explain a skill that I know how to do. I had to use all of the write […]
Tulip Under a Microscope
In science class, we are learning to use the microscope. We practiced setting up the microscope and adjusting the slide correctly so that we can look at a specimen at 3 magnifications: 40x, 100x and 400x. The slides are premade. Later we will learn to make our own slides. My partner and I chose […]
