  These boys have participated in the Mathlympics iExperience which has involved a series of measurement challenges, a BreakOut code team problem solving task in Week 4 and the archery challenge in Week 5. The mini-mathlympics iExperience enabled the boys to be curious as they explored the resources in the various mathlympics activities where they measured volume, capacity, distance, time and practiced setting up a calendar. They were encouraged to explore the different resources and see how they could build on their maths capability. They connected the knowledge that they already had about good ways to practise maths capability with the equipment and used it to make conclusions about what to do with the equipment. In the BreakOut EDU activity Joshua and Nehal were very excited and they all collaborated well and managed to crack some codes. It was great to observe how well they collaborated together with the new additions to their team and how they applied their prior knowledge to the bow and arrow design. Joshua, Aarav and Nehal worked together on their design while Stephan and Tristan designed their own bow & arrow. They were inspired by some videos before they began to draw their design and list the materials needed. They built their design with materials making modifications as they went and practiced shooting before the final competition. It was wonderful to see how enthusiastic they were in this learning and their reflections demonstrated this. |

The Diamonds maths group has been looking at measurement and how different units of measurement work. This session was focused on how to make estimates and measure using objects found around the habitat. The object we were using was popsicle sticks. The group decided this would be a good thing to use because they are all the same length and not many would be needed to measure large objects. Today we used an outline of Gary’s body to make our object to measure and the group decided which body parts we could estimate and measure. The learners had to estimate how many popsicle sticks they would need to measure different parts and this started a discussion about whether the sticks should be used end to end or lying beside it each. The group all decided that this would depend on the size of the object. It would take too many to measure the length of Gary’s body if we did side by side but this method would be okay to measure the width of a finger. The group agreed that this task was a fun way to learn about measuring because it was about them!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
The learners in the Diamonds group are developing their capabilities in measurement. They are able to discuss their answers showing that they understand language, symbols and text. All of the learners were able to work together and take on different roles within the task, which demonstrated participation and contribution and relating to others.
