The Maths Project
We are trialling a new concept - Problem of the Week. We have created 5 problems for your students to have a go at during Term 2. The idea is students work through the problems and present their solution in a video to the teacher. Teachers can then give feedback to students on their mathematical reasoning (problems solving) skills. These are tasks that students can work on independently once they have mastered the class work of the week.
We are looking for student sample videos to place on the website. If your students produce a video that you think should be published please email us at [email protected]
