Stream - Day 2 by Malcolm Drew https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku This is where group and individual responses can be posted. en-us 2022-04-09 00:12:06 UTC 2022-04-09 10:23:19 UTC hello@padlet.com Group 6. Guiding through IA https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137107721 1. Ask students what topics of interest they would like to research (non-maths related - hobbies, future jobs, uni courses, etc.)
2. Provide students with supporting materials such as textbooks, articles, online resources that would help them to connect their topic of interest with maths concepts.
3. Advise students whether their topic is suitable for their grade level.

-Use mind mapping for idea generation and what mathematical topics they can connect with the idea
-Use directed see- think - wonder : like show a situation and ask if they find a better solution for it.
-Using IA proposal sheet to start putting their ideas together.
- deadlines for writing different ideas - make it a part of formative assessment

Group 6 https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137111925 - Students will be less likely to cheat if the topic is closely aligned with what is really meaningful to them. 
- Provide students with support and guidance throughout the process and remind them about small deadlines
- Remind students about the consequences of plagiarising]]> 2022-04-09 02:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137111925 Group 1 https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137111988 -have a IA folder/package for students listing out ideas and criterion breakdown
-brainstorm ideas as a class (i.e. stimulus pictures)
-make flowcharts and explore research questions and math concepts associated with each exploration idea]]> 2022-04-09 02:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137111988 Group 5 https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137112585 1. See-think-wonder (create a shared google sheet and ask students to find their own picture and comment to others pics) 
2. Mind Map - great method of exploration
3. Exploration of topics suggested in IB books 

As a teacher it’s important to implement various methods: investigations (online, textbooks), lecture, projects, (toolkit helps to allocate better time to try different  


Working with curiosity makes your work naturally unique! 

Coming up with a good topic is one of the most important steps in IA. 
What makes a good topic? - originality, level appropriate, and space for mathematical exploration.

- Go through the criteria and let them understand the difference between theirs and the final IAs
- Encourage students to think about topics related to subjects they are learning.
- Do not try to finish IA in a short time. Keep doing and amending.]]> 2022-04-09 02:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137113043 Group 2. https://padlet.com/malcolm_drew2/9aqxbx3c9jiskoku/wish/2137115110

Didn't think of linking TOK with Maths. This will enhance students's thinking and interest.

It was interesting for me to know about math EE and the difference with IA. I learned many things from my group members (Jeff and Kim) as well.
Reading EE needs more time than IA. I am just happy with instructing IA!

As for TOK, language terminology does make things look more difficult.
