Family Math Morning- Nov 12th 2022 by Ruchi Mainali https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv @HIXS Middle School en-us 2022-11-11 14:37:43 UTC 2025-11-12 07:50:17 UTC hello@padlet.com It took some time to get everyone to jump in and start collaborating, post the 1st couple of minutes, we were able to get roles allocated. https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380826400 2022-11-12 05:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380826400 This part was fun - a lot more collaboration on the 2nd question, use of estimation and visual learning looking at the boxes. Sometimes the way the question is framed can create confusion and was visible . Use of fractions and multiples. https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380827119 2022-11-12 05:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380827119 Was a collaborative effort, a lot of back on forth on this question and iteration - was great to see questions being asked and double clicked on the answers. Visuals really help in making the problem come to life https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380827928 2022-11-12 05:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380827928 Each of the participants took their tasks and started to contribute. Saw some parents also using pencils and paper to visualize and scribe. https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828110 2022-11-12 05:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828110 Real life problem finding https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828448 We were presented with a real life problem. In a store, we would expect for a bigger bar to be more economical. But this problem showed us that it is better to make the smaller bar economical, to make it more affordable.]]> 2022-11-12 05:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828448 It was fun and an interesting way to visualize the numbers, made it all the more easier to comprehend when the problem is visual. https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828686 2022-11-12 05:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828686 Pie chart technoogically https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828765 2022-11-12 05:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828765 Table Problem https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828784 The group took some time to find roles. Post this we took some additional time to review the problem, but eventually we started having interesting discussions. Visual diagrams drove most discussions rathar than only mathematical formuale

Connected with real life examples - wedding or seating party arrangements, led to logical thinking beyond formulae, evolving solution ]]> 2022-11-12 05:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828784 Modelling https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828857 It was an collaborative effort. We got to know how making systematic patterns can help us solve complex problems with ease ]]> 2022-11-12 05:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828857 https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828924 It was fun creating rectangles and subtracting triangles ]]> 2022-11-12 05:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828924 Sometimes the way the problem is modeled and worded also creates the confusion which leads to fear - hence it becomes important to take a step back and visualize the problem https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828974 2022-11-12 05:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828974 Good problem solving as a team https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828994 2022-11-12 05:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380828994 https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829030 It was interesting to see how we default to formulae while the kids understand but visualising it]]> 2022-11-12 05:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829030 Also observed how one member drives and the rest get along , implies benefits of collaboration and group study https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829132 2022-11-12 05:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829132 https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829229 it was fun collaborating with other ‘parents students’ to solve simple problems.. imagining part was really exciting ]]> 2022-11-12 05:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829229 It was great fun, we collaborated , learnt jointly and it did not feel like any boring class ,...more of a discovery https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829364 2022-11-12 05:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829364 It's easier to do math on real life problems. Most of the calculation is intuitive. In fact the task of describing how you solved the problem needs more effort than the process of solving problem itself https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829571 2022-11-12 05:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380829571 Real life problem solving https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380830177 When we visit a super market, the assumption is that a higher weight is more economical. Through this task, I learnt that the smaller bar is priced lesser, making it affordable and letting more people buy the same.]]> 2022-11-12 05:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380830177 https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380830623 2022-11-12 05:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380830623 https://padlet.com/ruchimainali1/522pouksxk9ohogv/wish/2380831238 Draw a cirle. 
Divide it 4 sections
1 section will be Vinita that will be 25 %
We will do a rough estimate of dividing 25% into 10% and 15%. 10% will go to chocolate and 15%  will do to strawberry
Remaining 50% will goto Pista (30%) and Mango (20%).
