Original Author: Brenda Callaway, Wynnewood
Students, armed with digital camaras, will take a walking field trip to identify geometric an other mathematics visible close to their school. They will then return to the classroom and prepare a group collage highlighting their findings. Then, separating by theme, the photos will be implemented in lesson designs the students collaborate with the teacher on for use with the whiteboard.
Comments
This would be a positive connection to engage lower learners.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
This activity can also be used to build vocabulary.
