Not everything on the internet is correct...Carroll diagrams

Yesterday we tried using the Carroll diagram generator.

As you can see, several of us found that it was incorrect sometimes!
You have to think carefully about what you read. This is called critical thinking.


What should we do?

Should we take the program from our blog?
Should we try and find the maker of the program and ask for advice?
Should we leave the program on the blog BUT put a large warning next to it?

Please vote on the poll on the sidebar.

This week's homework is to use a Carroll diagram program and become an expert.
See these extra links to other Carroll diagrams:
Crickweb polygon sort (2D shapes)
Number sort - from earlier this week...see warning here

Then make your own.
You could draw one using paper and pencil, you could make one using word or publisher, you could make several as a powerpoint!

Ideas for parents to help with making Carroll diagrams on paper or on a big floor:
Tape marked on floor
Printable worksheets and problems
Blank Carroll diagrams to print and use


Then hand in as homework. Due in on Monday after half term.
Sensible option: hand in on Friday before the Half term break

Warning: some children in the class found that this game has errors. Please comment on this post if you find any. I may need to remove the game if it is not helping you to learn.

Asking and answering our own questions in maths

Last week, when Mrs Anne took the class, we wrote down questions which we wanted to answer using a survey.  We knew that we would be asking our friends in 3W and we wrote doen 4 or 5 possible answers.

We made sure that we had an other category in case someone's favourite wasn't on the list of answers.

This week we have been busy researching and here are some pictures.

  

Here's a gallery of the ones which we have finished so far and us working hard!

Here is the form we are going to use to help make our own work.  Thanks to Guilli, Punn and her mum for thinking of these criteria and typing up.
