Our Animal Picture Graphs

As part of the Mathematics Holistic Assessment, the students are required to work in groups to create an animal picture graph after their visit to the zoo.

Here are some pictures of our students working in teams to put their picture graphs together.
Working in teams help them to work co-operatively to achieve a common goal. I hope that the group work will give them the experience to also strengthen their social skills with their friends when problem solving. They learn how to discuss with their friends (sometimes meeting each other half way) when each has a different way of doing things. Most of the students enjoy group work and the class can get a little "loud" as discussions go on. I told the class these are "positive" noise. Most of the students have made good progress. They have grown so much from the first day I see them in January. I am proud of you, 1H.
