I am finding ways to extend 2 very capable mathematicians?!? We have grouped the 2 boys together (one is from room 10) and the other from my class.
In the past I have trialed making a blog for each of my maths groups so I decided to do the same for these 2 boys.
So...I have created a blog just for them :)
I met with these boys today (my student teacher is on full control so I am able to work one-on-one with them). They added their maths blog to the e-portfolios and thought it was very cool to have their own blog.
They are working on decimals at the moment - place value, ordering, skip counting in tenths and hundredths and adding and subtracting decimals. So I added some website for them to practice and asked them to post a reflection on their individual portfolios.
I will also add samples of work, or they will, and add on-going reflections from both the chn and myself.
Any other ideas on how to extend these 2 able mathematicians?
Here is the beginning of their e-portfolio:

Chayse is really enjoying being challenged with his maths learning. Thanks for putting the time into their maths learning. He is excited to have his own maths blog.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic idea Marcelle! They are independent children as well which makes this more successful. I look forward to reading their reflections.
