The first virtual three way conferences were held on 3rd and 6th March. Connections went smoothly and conversations were informative from the school’s point of view, if you did experience any problems with the Google hangout meetings please pass this information along to teachers so that we may continually improve our services.
World Maths Day was a great opportunity to highlight mathematics learning at ISS and for students to engage in fun and challenging Maths activities. During Maths Day on 4th March students had opportunities to create their own maths puzzles, patterns, mystery numbers or word problems for others to solve. The “creations”were displayed on boards outside Changi Hall. Teachers and students took a gallery walk and left feedback on stickie notes. Students also participated in a March Maths Challenge which was organised by Mathletics. This presented challenges for students with adaptive maths curriculum questions and live multi-player games. At the end of the day marks were talled to see which class earned the most ISS house points. Students were invited to dress up as a symbol, or a number, or to wear a riddle. Mathematical world days continue next week with World π Day on 14th March. Celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (m/dd) date format, because the digits in the date, March 14 or 3/14, are the first three digits of π (3.14). Have a lovely weekend, Susan Tilney. |
