How Many Soda Combinations Are There On A Coca-Cola Freestyle? How you modify the task at this point will determine whether what grade level standards apply. By asking students “How many soda combinations are there on a Coca-Cola Freestyle?” It gives students a context for composing and decomposing numbers. Strategies students may use include (in order of complexity): Counting every single flavor one at a timeUsing grouping strategies and noticing that the total number of flavors is equal to 7 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 1 .Realizing they can group the group totals which is equal to 3 * 1 + 2 * 2 + 1 * 5 + 2 * 6 + 3 * 7 + 10 * 8.Using invented strategies such as making groups of 6 or other easier to count grouping.
I would definitely look for these three strategies as well as other creative strategies and think about the order you have students present so that the answers build upon each other. Ultimately the total number of flavors comes to 125 flavors. 11 Ways to Teach Math with Google Drawings. Google Drawings is one of my favorite parts of the Google Drive suite, even though it seems to often get overlooked. Perhaps that is because Google itself hides the Drawings link under the “More” menu in Drive rather than letting it sit at the grown up table with Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
However, I think Drawings deserves much more attention especially in the classroom where it has so many educational uses. These include: Graphic organizers - see hereDesktop publishing - see here Interactive multimedia posters (Googlinks) - see here In addition to those ideas, one of my favorite uses for Google Drawings is teaching math. See below for 11 ideas for how to use Google Drawings to teach and learn math. 1) Lines of Symmetry Students can create shapes or insert images, then add lines to show the lines of symmetry for those shapes.
Lines of Symmetry example - Google Drawing link CC.4.G.3 Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles. 3) Shapes. 180 Days of Math Tasks - Google Slides. Carnival of Mathematics. The Carnival of Mathematics is a monthly blogging round up hosted by a different blog each month. The Aperiodical will be taking responsibility for organising a host each month, and links to the monthly posts will be added here. To volunteer to host a forthcoming Carnival (see below for months needing a host), please contact Katie. The Carnival of Mathematics accepts any mathematics-related blog posts, YouTube videos or other online content posted during the month: explanations of serious mathematics, puzzles, writing about mathematics education, mathematical anecdotes, refutations of bad mathematics, applications, reviews, etc.
Sufficiently mathematized portions of other disciplines are also acceptable. An FAQ can be found at the bottom of this page. Current: Carnival 221 is hosted by Suzza at Beauty of Mathematics.Next: Carnival of Maths 222 will be hosted by John D Cook and submissions will close on 1st December.
