Fiona's Sifteo Game - by Fiona

For my Math Presentation on Area and Perimeter, I decided to create a game on Sifteo. There are two choices on what you could create, you can do multiple choice or sorting. I did both of them. Creating your Sifteo game is pretty easy once you know how to do it. There's a choice on the multiple choice game for one player or two player. For one player, you press the answer that you think is right. For two player, you have to move this little tick, and once you think you have the right answer, you press it.

I think that doing a Sifteo Cube for your presentation is a good way to show what you know!

Mathady Presentation

The amazing Digital Degus create innovative, exciting reflections in Math. You should have seen Laryssa's last two presentations! She shared her version of Jeopardy, "Mathady" with us to demonstrate her learning about Area and Perimeter. 

Three contestants, Liam, Kaleigh and Vickie, got to participate as Hunter kept score and Laryssa hosted. Thomas even brought Anna up to watch on Skype!

There were a variety of questions in a variety of topics, each more challenging than the last. Many of the students were eager to participate and Laryssa did a phenomenal job sharing her creative ideas with her classmates!

For her next Reflective Math presentation, Laryssa created another game, her version of Hangman, "Hangmath", asking the audience to answer questions about the addition and subtraction of decimals.

Many of her classmates were eager, enthusiastic and inspired by Laryssa's amazing creation of these games and subsequent hosting!

Your Weekend Homework: Area and Perimeter of the Gym

 Remember when we were in the Gym on Friday? Every student measured the length and width of the Gym with a non-standard unit of measurement - his or her feet!

Don't forget that your homework for the weekend is to determine the perimeter and area of the Gym based on your measurements. Also, answer the question: why are some of the measurements so different?

Figure this out using the strategies we've been practicing in class. You may leave your responses in the comment area below or bring them in on Monday!

Good luck!
