Today we did not have language, instead students had extra time to work on their coding summatives!
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today, we discussed math overall. Math is everywhere. There are five strands of math: Number Sense and Numeration, Patterning and Algebra, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Measurement, and Data Management & Probability. We then went around the school exploring all the ways that we use math in school, but not in the classroom. Math test have been sent home. Please sign and return them tomorrow.
Unit of Inquiry
Today in UOI students continued to work on their coding summatives.
For our final summative this year students have been hired by a successful video game corporation to create a game using Scratch. Students can either create a new game, or make a remake of a classic video game – students must state if they are doing this and give credit to the original creator. Students will need to begin by brainstorming ideas by sketching and describing sprites, setting a background, have a game purpose and create an original title if necessary. Students will also be required to hand write a minimum of a one page (front and back, double spaced) report on their game. They will need to address the objective of their game, the characters, the instructions on how to play their game, debugging (explaining what code provided the most challenge and why), document the progress and process, and lastly reflect on the game (did people enjoy it, how do they feel about it, etc.). Students will also need to create an advertisement. Students should refer to the outline and rubric throughout to ensure they are meeting all of the requirements. The summative is due Monday, June 10th. All work must be completed in class!
Homework/ Reminders:
- Spelling test tomorrow
- Sign and return math test tomorrow
