Daily Class Exit BlogAnswer at least one of the following:1. Describe something you learned2. Questions you have or something you would like to learn more about3. Describe connections to classroom practice
So often people see math as very cut and dry - seeing numbers all the time. I liked the activities we did today because it showed math in a different light. The kaleidoscope activity in Sketchpad was so much fun and pretty. The math concepts that I had to understand in creating the kaleidoscope were polygons and reflection. Simple math concepts but when repeated over and over again created a very unique and colorful pattern.
I think the connection to classroom practice today is giving students another outlet for applying mathematical concepts. Creating a kaleidoscope or making a math autobiography video allows students to apply concepts in different learning styles. I can see more artistic students enjoying this type of learning so much more. I'm still working on turning my kaleidoscope into a video and maybe have it in tomorrow's post. Yay!
