Creative Teaching Methods in Mathematics

Sue shares creative ways to conduct school presentations. She describes an activity where students create origami frogs to learn about measurement through a frog jumping contest. Another activity involves using colored blocks to teach median, mode, and mean, encouraging students to think creatively and engage with the material in a hands-on way.

What is the main focus of Sue's presentation?

• Mathematical problem-solving

• Creative ways to do presentations

• Science experiments

• History of origami

What activity does Sue use to teach measurement?

• Drawing geometric shapes

• Measuring classroom objects

• Building paper airplanes

• Creating origami frogs

What is the purpose of the frog jumping contest?

• To practice teamwork

• To determine which paper type jumps further

• To see who can make the best frog

• To learn about frog anatomy

What materials do students use in the frog jumping contest?

• Different types of paper

• Plastic frogs

• Metal sheets

• Wooden blocks

How does Sue suggest students can learn about paper properties?

• By reading books

• Through a frog jumping contest

• By watching videos

• By listening to lectures

What is a creative way to teach measurement according to Sue?

• Origami and contests

• Drawing diagrams

• Using rulers and scales

• Reading measurement books

How do students explore statistical concepts with blocks?

• By building towers

• By sorting them by size

• By using them to find median, mode, and mean

• By painting them

What statistical concept is identified by the most frequently used color?

• Range

• Mode

• Mean

• Median

What is the benefit of not telling students the purpose of the blocks initially?

• To save time

• To encourage creativity and exploration

• To make them guess

• To confuse them

What is the significance of using different colors of blocks?
