Removing
the Fear from Mathematics
Other
requests for collaboration:
The
students in Andorra need your help in conducting an environmental
study. They need you to keep track for one week of how much
trash your family throws away. They hope to receive the participation
from a number of countries around the world so that the classes
can make important international comparisons.
The
teachers of Andorra have created some student worksheets to
share and
invite
the rest of the groups to use these worksheets as well. If
you are
interested
in this project, please write to <orillas-math@igc.org>.
They invite other classes to participate in English or Spanish.
Teacher
Kristi Rennebohm-Franz has created a project called quilt
math.
Please
go to her web site and write a message to her 6-8 year old
students. URL: http://www.psd267.wednet.edu/~kfranz/Math/quiltmath2000/quiltmath2000.htm
On the
web site you will see many colorful quilts. Choose a
quilt, and use your math skills to observe and write down
all the characteristics you find, such as
geometrical shapes, patterns of color, numerical sequence,
etc. If you send
your observations, the students of Washington will write back
to you when
they
resume school in January. Please send your observations to
<orillas-math@igc.org>
