  4. Hi Miss Lyall

    Having the instructions on the class website was cool because you didn't have to work in your book, secondly it was a bit more interesting working off our web page.

    Some of the problems were finding the activity that you were put on
    because they were all in different places

    They were quite easy to start off with. That was good just to give us a
    kick start

    Some of them were a bit easy so if you could make them a little bit
    harder next time it would be better.

    Doing math this way was pretty cool becauseit was different.
    I liked it because it gets a bit boring doing the same thing
    all the time.

    At first we went on to the wrong game so then we had to go back and
    try to find the web page.

    1. Hi Alice

      These are great answers - you have done some great thinking. Your answers will help me a lot.
      Do you think it would be easier if there was only one group doing maths like this each week?

  5. Hi Miss Lyall

    1) What do you like about having your instructions on the class website?

    That we get to use technology and be independent.


    2) What were the problems having your instructions on the class website?

    We have to keep checking back on the computer every time we change and it disturbs the people on the computer

    3) What were the good things about the activities?

    That you use different things to do maths.

    4) What were the problems with the activities?

    5) What did you think about doing maths this way? What did you like about it - the positives (yellow hat)?

    6) What were the problems (black hat)?

    That everyone wanted to go on the iPad and computers.

    7) Is there anything else I need to know?

    I thought it was fun because it's something new and different. It was confusing but I could get used to it.

    Why did you choose to do maths this way?

  6. Hi Matt
    Thank you for these great answers - you have put a lot of thought in to them and they are very helpful to me.

    I chose to do maths this way because I like working on the computer and I was hoping the class would as well. I also thought it would give everybody a variety of good activities that would help them with the work you are doing in your maths group.

    Which activities did you like the most and why?
