Math enrichment students in grades 2-4 have been working on various challenges that manipulate numbers and make students use critical thinking to solve. I have been extremely impressed with the motivation and perseverance of all students as they work through the struggles these challenges give.
Students in the grade 3 TAG class have chosen project based learning tasks to complete. Some students are investigating probability in a simulation called "Game Factory." Another group is in the beginning stages of creating a video game design of their own. The third task chosen is based on a NASA challenge called "Can a Shoebox Fly." These students are learning about aerodynamics so that they can successfully create a glider that has an intact shoebox as the main material.
Students in the grade 4 TAG class took an Interest-A-Lyzer which was developed by Joseph Renzilli at UCONN. By completing this survey, students can analyze their responses and determine an area of high interest for a long term research project.
