Students are working hard on learning areas, the whiteboards will allow us to confer during small groups, sharing our work with one another more easily. The whiteboards will also offer me a better opportunity to show my work to the whole group without the use of technology.
The clay, paint, and shaping tools will allow us to take our math concepts (area) and cross them into our social studies curriculum, with fun, engaging, hands-on learning. These tools will give us the opportunity to engage in project-based learning in a fun and engaging manner as we learn about Ancient Mesopotamia. Students will be able to build maps, pyramids, irrigation systems to reinforce our math and social studies content.
The hydroponic equipment listed will give us another cross-curricular hands-on approach to reinforce content. The pump and clay pebbles will allow us to farm (grow) our own vegetables, similar to the Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia, all the while honing in on our science content. This is another opportunity to connect our content to the real world as we live in a large farming area. Growing our own vegetables will also teach our students about self-sustainable life.
Through project-based learning, we know that retention levels are higher as it engages a higher level of learning. With these supplies, my students will be able to touch, feel, and see content reaching all types of learners.
6.G.1. FIND the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes. APPLY these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
SS.6-8.EWC.26. Utilize and construct maps and
images to explain and analyze regional,
environmental, and cultural characteristics in
early civilizations.
