What is Pi? Flip the class
There are 5 words in language that can be used very effectively in Maths classes to develop lessons!
These are: When? How? Where? Why? and What?
One can make use of these easily. I used them to flip the class for the lesson on Pi.
Introduction:
I told the students that they would be learning about something called as 'Pi". They have to investigate and find information on the same! They had to work in a team of 2 to 3.
Task sheet for them, emailed:
Part A - Create 5 original questions around the following on Pi:
- What ......?
- When ....?
- Where...?
- Why...?
- How...?
Email me your questions and the researched answers.
Part B - “How is circumference of a circle connected with knowledge of pi"?
Email me the information
Part C - Present your findings to the class with a question-answer session.
This is the assessment of the task
Rubric:
- Questions selected
- Information
- Finding circumference
- Presentation
- Team work
- Time management
One can easily see the number of skills involved in the experience.
