Term 2- Monday Week 8 7/06/22
Introduction – Mathematicians Chance MA1-1WM Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-3WM Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained MA1-18SP Recognises and describes the element of chance in everyday events Prompt: Create a book of impossible things. -Introduce the new mathematicians centre. Explain that over the next 2 of weeks year 1 have the challenge of making a book of impossible things. Explain that we will be learning some mathematical words that we use in chance that help us when we are discussing the chance of how likely or unlikely something is to happen. TPS- What does impossible mean? Discuss and explain that impossible means that there is no way that something can happen. It will NEVER happen. e.g., dogs will fly. TPS- What does possible mean? Discuss and explain that possible means that something ‘might’ or ‘may’ or ‘maybe’ happen but it’s not ‘certain’ or 100% sure to happen. There is a ‘chance’ it ‘could happen’. TPS- What does ‘certainly’ happen mean? Discuss and explain that ‘certainly’ means that something ‘will definitely’ happen for sure. E.g. the sun will come out tomorrow morning. TPS- What does ‘uncertain’ mean? Discuss and explain that ‘uncertain’ means that ‘unsure’ or ‘not sure’ that something may happen. E.g. I’m uncertain if I’ll have a good day at school tomorrow. Watch on IWB - Mr impossible – Mr Men https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbscKewdToI Watch on IWB - An Ordinary Day by Rod Clement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=webNDlDsGFk -Pause the video after each page. Students are to TPS, the impossible things on the page. Record their responses on a chart. Model- how to fold two A4 pages in half to create a book. Label the book “book of impossible things”. -Explain to students that their challenge is to think of the most creative and imaginative things that could never ever happen. These things are ‘impossible’ to happen. They will then draw a picture of the impossible thing and write a matching sentence in their book. Ask Aaron to read and share the ‘impossible book’ that he made last week during learning centres. Ask students to give feedback on each page. Students TPS- ‘impossible things’ that could never happen and share responses with year 1. Record on a chart. Model- how to draw a picture and a matching sentence in the impossible book using a student’s suggestion. Play a game on IWB- to practise possible and impossible scenarios. https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-2/more-less-and-equally-likely Reflection- Present and discuss impossible book to the rest of year 1.
