We focussed on using compasses last week so next session, we can try to use rulers to rule straight lines and get compass use in again.I plan to prepare materials to introduce the idea of digital roots (possibly would work as a starter with the hundred square.
That can lead to curve stitching ideas that can be done on paper and can start by introducing circles again but go on to other curves. I guess we would need templates but maybe we could get them to design a template if we actually had a board and drawing pins.
Lots of ideas that need to be resourced and framed with in challenges, exploration, games and things that might provide meaning for our explorers including hopefully the really young ones.
Plan for this morning:
ReplyDeleteNettie's and Lily's starter
investigation review - place value possibilities introduce digital roots
create a digital root diagram for 1 and 2 times tables
Coded times tables - coded using digital roots which times tables could they be
times table jump - using large number line
create own table - digital roots diagram
mystic rose investigation - how many lines are possible - some times there is a shape in the middle and sometimes there is not why
curve stitching - How would you create various curves (look at path followed by a missile locked on to a fast plane or a dog chasing a car (in both cases initially perpendicular route) which updates its trajectory every second) Using ruler or thread and thumb tacks
Ending game - Golf - using clock as compass
