Culminating Task Day 1

Grade 9s worked in small groups today to create questions that were mild/medium/spicy based on an image of our school BBQ. They needed a question about numeracy, and one about geometry and measurement, and one about financial math.

Groups collaborated well and discussed what kinda of questions they’d be able to answer, and then created questions for each level. They next had to request which will be provided on Monday, so they can use that information and complete their calculations.

We have been working in groups all semester, and we’ve been noticing and wondering with our 3 act tasks, and our slow reveal graphs. This culminating task values the collaborative nature of our experience this term, and allows students to take ownership of their learning.

By the end of the class each group had their questions prepared and submitted, and everyone knows exactly what to expect for Monday, so hopefully there will be less anxiety surrounding this culminating compared to a math test.
