We've just observed a problem involving hexominos with a focus on connections. Read the questions below and answer one in light of the material you've just seen and read.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- In the video, the students are expected to develop their own sorting criteria in their small groups. How does this benefit the students? What challenges for the teacher might this open-ended task present?
- Describe several connections among mathematical ideas that you observed. How did each connection come up in the video?
- Does this remind you of any activity you have used to expand your students' awareness of connections among mathematics topics? In what ways?
Three ways to write and reflect:
- Use pen and paper.
- Use a word processor.
- Use the form below.
Be sure to save what you have written before you navigate out of the journal section.
Thanks for writing in your journal. Please keep your entries in whatever format you choose -- you will find them useful for reference later.
