The children
had a lot of fun doing a height measurement chart.
The children chose yarn and flower colours and I divided them in pairs so each
two children measure each other’s height using yarn and they put it on the
wall. I think the activity helped the children to cooperate and talk, they were
really interested to see each others height and they were motivated to compare
them. I did the activity in two days and the second day I asked the children who
did the activity to explain it for other children to reinforce their knowledge
and to scaffold each other learning. I tried to step back as much as i could
and let them work independently.
You can do this
activity for the _mass length and height outcome- it’s really fun =)
The children brought flash lights from the classroom to investigate others
height!!!
I think it's a very good idea to ask students to explain to each other. Learning by teaching is an excellent way to learn. Your pictures really show how engaged the children are with the activities.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful activity Marwa, the students are engaged and having fun as I can see from the pictures. I think they learnt the concept because you used something related to them. Certainly will use this activity during my math lesson as we taking the same outcomes.
ReplyDeleteI liked the activity and I'm amazed with your children, they are really engaged and participated with the activity. You are showing how you are a good teacher in motivating the children to involve and finish the activity. This week we are talking about comparison and I'm happy that I saw this activity because I think I will use it in the last day that I will be in the school.
