For the last couple weeks, we have been looking at a series of videos based around having an inspirational week of math that shows everybody can be good at maths and that everybody looks at math and solves problems in different ways.
Along with these videos, there were a set of worksheets to complete using the values and problem-solving techniques shown in the videos. These worksheets often require creative problem-solving and outside-of-the-box thinking.
These videos taught us that anybody can learn maths if they put their mind to it, that speed is not important in math, and that there are many ways to solve one problem in math.
Kia ora Andre!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you are keeping up with your blogs in Year 9! Ka pai :) We are starting to do inspirational maths in Year 7/8 as well. I am interested to know, what is your favourite part of these activities? Do you like them better than the type of Maths we did in Year 8?
