The level of difficulty of the equations (or other concepts) could be adjusted depending on the Grade/Skill level of the students. Perhaps they could describe their house using geometrical terminology, or show a graph of the genders of the people in their house to extend the skills. They could plot the ages of their family on a scatter plot. There are no set guidelines so each teacher could adjust the assignment to their own needs depending on the curriculum being addressed. Here are some pictures to show examples of the students' work.
The mathematical and creative possibilities are endless.
I like this idea. Aside from the colouring and artwork (which is great) the core concept is awesome. It gets students engaged to mathematics in a very basic way. It's a different way to think of something that you would have commonly overlooked. Students do fixate on interesting topics like this as well, so even when they're at McDonalds and they want a 6 piece Mcnugget, they might order a 2(24/8) nugget instead!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to get students thinking about Math and its possibilities. It helps to start the non conventional way to exploring math. This in turn can help foster creativity which will help in problem solving. Thanks for sharing.
