Identifying our learning barriers

 We have been learning to share our ideas in groups to solve Maths problems. This has been hard for some of us. It can be scary to share idea's and sometimes we feel nervous to make a mistake.  

One way we are working through this is to identify some of the barriers that are stopping us form learning in Maths.  We created rivers with our barriers that we identified in the river.  Here are some of the rivers we have created.







Our next step will be to choose one barrier and think about ways we could remove the barrier or work around it.  We will continue to work through each barrier until we have removed all of our learning barriers.

  1. Wow!
    Maths certainly has changed since I was at Primary School.
    I love the visuals that you are showcasing on your classroom blog.
    Working around how we can remove barriers in our learning which is also known as problem solving, is a great skill to have.
    Keep up the good work you are doing using your problem solving stratgies Rm 21.

  2. What a great way to visualize your learning goals and steps Room 21. I think it is very brave of you all to be honest about your learning barriers and be willing to make changes and steps to help you remove them!

Tennis

This is our second tennis lesson with Lucian.  We practiced our forehand returns.  We enjoyed our lesson with Lucian.

Problem Solving and Building things

One of our tasks for EOTC Week was to set a building goal, work as a team to problem solve to achieve our building goals.  We also spent some time problem solving as individuals.  Miss Laxa set 4 tasks based on a television show from both the Philippines and USA.  One task was to balance a can on it's side by altering the water levels.  Other tasks include catching ping pong balls in cups, building a domino style track using CD cases and directing a balloon using only an air pump.

Swimming

We were lucky enough to receive professional swimming lessons by qualified swimming instructors.  We spent 2 weeks learning many swimming skills.  This will be followed up by another 2 weeks of lessons later in the year.
