Construction Collaboration Between Coates's and Colautti's Classes

On Friday, for math, 6Coa and 6Col got together in the Learning Pit for some collaborative geometry construction.  Each group had a set of white and green game cards, lavender and purple game cards, one die, and needed geometry tools and paper.

The Tools

Get your child to explain how the game was played, and what the learning goals were.  The students will see these materials again in the future - likely at a literacy workstation - for practice.  There is always a construction question on the EQAO assessment.

I have to take this opportunity to extend a HUGE thank you to the many people who helped me make the cards for all three grade six classes.  Thanks to my mother who cut and glued all of the cards for us.  Mr. Carter (EA at our school) took all of the cards to the Board Office and laminated them for us.  Quite a few grade six students who gave up their recesses to cut them out!  Team work at its best!
