Today was alot of fun in our math class. We had two student IBL presentations. Leisha introduced us to our attribute pcs. by having us sort and classify them. We also played the secret attridute game. I liked this because it made us think and use reasoning to guess the attributes. We did this by guessing and using process of elimination.
Our second student presenter was Scott and he introduced us to the slope of a line and coordinates. Scott used the game of Battleship to have us call out coordinates. This really is an easy fun way to introduce graphing coordinates. After we sank his battleship, he asked us to figure out a slope of a line that woukld sink two given ships. If you are a visiual person like me, you can appreciate this type of instruction. The same goes for Leisha's presentaion using the attribute pieces. I felt that both these presentations would connect with a class of students at many different levels.
We finished class by starting section 2.3. This section is on logic. We used puzzles to practice using logic and reasoning. We did a child's Sudoku puzzle (which I love) and we were introduced to a new type of puzzle called Paint By Number. The paint by number puzzle is a little more complicated, but I can see myself becoming addicted to these too.
