Direct Instruction
The learning intention is create and use appropriate units and devices to measure length.
In this video you will see a 'create' task. We recap 'how to use Explain Everything'. Teacher modelling on the iPad and tamariki creating using lego.
Reflection
This was a really fun lesson. It grabbed the attention of tamariki from the beginning. I really enjoyed roving and hearing all of the discussions that were happening whilst tamariki were amongst their creations.
For some tamariki, I needed to facilitate the conversation to further their understanding of the learning intention.
We will definitely be exploring more ‘create’ activities like this one in the future.
