MAths for a Zoo trip
This is part of a larger activity that i planned for a zoo trip that i rebranded as ‘‘safari’’
It includes an activity for grades 6/7 , IGCSE level and to the top IB HL level students and even includes EE and IA project suggestions
This is a full unit of work - Overall teaching plan, ppt that accompanies this unit of work, and worksheets.
NOTE! The planning is my shared resource as the ppt and worksheet is a combination of my own work and others but chose to include them purely to accompany the planned unit
This includes the map of the Shanghai zoo plus with demarcated areas for the maths activities and the 5 stations that I designed for the lower kids from grades 6-8.
Please give feedback
This is a collaborative lesson that uses maths to model a bouncing ball.
It is the first part of a 5 part collaborative lesson with the Physics to help scaffold students into creating mathematical models , designing experiments , exploring relationships between Geometric series, Vertical Dilated Quadratic function and their relationships of projectile motion in a system with loss of energy.
Not that student ownership , Student agency , and student independence is also included in the progress of the lesson
