IALT: reflect on how I was able to think, and develop new maths skills in the group maths game I played.
So, today for 1 hour and 30 minutes we had to be put into 4 groups of 4, and 2 groups of 5 in order to play a educational maths game! During that time some parents of others came in for home school partnership. The reason they would be coming in was in order to see how their child, and their peers, or classmates learn! Some parents we had come in was Siale's mother, Aletheia's mother, Toma's elder sister, and also Akih's father. In the group I was apart of there was Ana, Akanesi, and also Sene. We played with "Jumbo Cards", and the game we played was Multiplication Card(s). In this game you have to dived the cards in 2! Then getting into teams of 2, and while one person flicks the other answers the questions. So for example if Sene had flicked a 5 spades, and Ana had flicked a 3 diamonds then you would automatically think that you would have to multiply 5 by 3, getting 15. And so on! The confusing part was with the King, Queen, and also Jack so to make it easy we decided if any 2 cards flicked into a King, Queen Or Jack, then they would have to change the question to addition! the value of the King, Queen, & Jack was the number 13. So for example if they flicked a Queen, and a 5 then the maths questions would be 13 + 5, which is 18. You would get the 13 from the value of the queen, and the 5 from the opposite card which was flicked!
Something I enjoyed was the competition we had against each other. We were so hooked into that game, we found it hard to stay focused, and to also keep our voices down.. which could be a goal we could work towards to!
In this activity one thing I found challenging was the fact of multiplying big numbers! Before creating the rule of addition King, Queen, & Jack we tried multiplying 13 by 5, or 6, or even 7 but then non of us knew our 13 x times tables, therefore we wanted to try it when we had been more familiar with the 13 time tabled questions.
Any thoughts, feedback, or feedforward for me to use next time?
