This week we had a lot of Math in the air to celebrate Numeracy Week. Each day consisted of different math themed activities and events to encourage a love of Mathematics. There was a math question of the day to challenge students. AIS school money was distributed all week to be exchanged on Friday for prizes.
Monday: Math Gameshow Day in the gym where students get to answer math related trivia questions and attempt to earn AIS school money. The game resembles the classic Family Feud.
Tuesday: Photo Contest entries of math found in real life and nature. Students find pictures from home that show some relation to Math. Aleyna won third place from our class!
Wednesday: Math rotation activities with Ms. Kapra and Mr. Aidar involving cards and trivia questions.
Thursday: Students worked together to create a Math art poster to display in the gym. Grade 5 made various Math Lands, places where everything was somehow a math shape or idea such as Candy Land where all the candy and sweets resembled numbers.
Friday: Shopping day! Students went to the gym to cash in their AIS school money for prizes. It was also Math Spirit Day and everyone was encouraged to wear any Math related clothes to celebrate.
UoI: While quite busy with Numeracy Week we also expanded our learning of experiments and how they help us to make sense of our world. Students worked in pairs to make a poster to demonstrate ten different ways experiments and inventions have helped us to expand our learning about the way the world works.
Students conducted another experiment called Walking Water. We started with three jars filled with different colored water, and in between these was an empty jar. We connected the empty jars and the colored water jars with folded paper towels and watched throughout the day as the water climbed up the paper towel to deposit and mix in the empty jars. By the morning of the following day we observed two new mixed colors and all jars were at an even level.
