Week 5

 

The last week of learning will be focused on knowledge application and taking actions in the real world. The final learning task is to build a bottle cap mural using recycled plastic bottle caps. The project involves several stages of development: material collecting, design selecting, mural creation and gamification in its presentation. The teacher will guide the students in each stage and support their collective learning in completing the final project. During this task, students will go through an authentic experience from using recycled materials to build an artwork that delivers messages about environmental problems and solutions at the school festival. Students will also use this week to embellish their prior tasks using their well defined and established understandings in order to showcase all their work at the school festival.

• Day 1: Students will gather their collected bottle caps and begin to make and select their designs for the mural. ​

• Day 2 - 3: Bottle cap mural making

• Day 4 - 5: Finalization on mural creation, Development of gamification task based on mural, and preparation for School Festival showcase (embellishment of prior tasks: locked room task, infographic, brochures, board/card game, scavenger hunt, sustainable presentations) 

​

​

Students will use direct and indirect measurement to describe, analyze, create, and solve problems relating to position and motion of objects and shapes, namely circles.

​

Shape and Space:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of circles by:

•         Describing the relationships among radius, diameter and circumference

•         Relating circumference to pi

•         Determining the sum of the central angles

•         Constructing circles with a given radius or diameter

•         Solving problems involving the radii, diameters and circumferences of circles.

 

2.Develop and apply a formula for determining the area of: circles.

4. Identify and plot points in the four quadrants of a Cartesian plane, using integral ordered pairs.

5. Perform and describe transformations (translations, rotations or reflections) of a 2-D shape in all four quadrants of a Cartesian plane (limited to integral number vertices).
