At the end of our first math unit, the students were involved
in their first Math Project!
They were given a problem and they had to work with their group
to figure out how they were going to solve it. The only
instruction given was: 'You can use anything in our classroom
to help you solve the problem.'
The Problem: You have:
9 red beads
6 blue beads
3 green beads
Make a pattern using all of the beads (a pattern must repeat 3 times)
 |
| The teams tested out different ideas... |
 |
| This team used red, blue and green books to help them create the pattern... |
 |
| This team used jewels... |
 |
| They tested and tested... |
 |
| ...until they solved the problem! |
 |
| 'Got it!' |
 |
| They recorded their patterns. |
 |
| ...and talked about how they figured it out. |
