Maths is Fun!
Reciprocal learning at its best
Over the past few days, Year 6 JM were
tasked with designing a Maths game that could be played by Year 3
students. They had to think about what would provide a learning
experience for the Year 3s, making sure to pitch the game at the appropriate
level. The Year 6 students also had to make sure that the
instructions for the game were easy to follow and that the game would be
interactive and enjoyable for all.
On Thursday, 26 November they came to
play their games with Year 3 AH. It was fantastic to see the coaching and mentoring by the Year 6 students and how involved and interested the Year 3s were in the games they were playing. A lot of fun and learning was had by all.
At the end of the lesson, the Year 3s had
an opportunity to discuss the games they played, which ones they enjoyed the
most and what skills they had practiced. The Year 6s were able to reflect
on their games, thinking about what worked well and what they could have done
differently.
Making maths fun is one of the best ways to
encourage a love of learning in your child. Remember, “A person who never
made a mistake never tried anything new.” ~ Albert Einstein.
