Grow your own crystals!

After today's lessons, I thought you might want to try and grow your own  

at home (or bring in your materials and I will help you at school!)

Here are some links to get you started:
Sugar Crystals- grow your own rock candy (but don't eat it at school! )

Glow in the dark crystals

Salt crystals- 3 different ways.

Copper sulphate/sulfate crystals.

As you try this, think about the different properties of these crystals. What crystal system is its growing pattern- what shape is it? What colour? How would you describe it?

Problem Solving: Sorting out what we have learned/Understanding

Times-tables ideas- Analyse and critique.

This is a playlist of about 6 videos. Some people are sharing their ideas about ways they think will make learning times-tables easy.

Have a look through, then answer some questions below.






Which one of these would you like to try?

How does it work? What makes it easier to learn this way?

How is it connected to our central idea: Understanding relationships and patterns between numbers helps us solve problems.

What other ideas do you have that you could share with someone that might help them learn their times-tables?

If you don't have an idea already, why don't you do a little research? 

Play with some numbers, look for patterns, break them into pieces ... explore!

Let's brainstorm!

Values

This year Room 11 & 12 have been talking about values in our class. We have been exploring what values are. In our school we have new value leaders. The value leaders help the school understand values.
