Third and last meeting at the Parwo ‘Mathhouse’

Friday 21 March we had our third  and last meeting at the Parwo ‘Mathhouse’.

In this meeting we had done an activity where we had to measure. We all got beads and cords in different colors. With these cords we had to measure different things. We had to figure out ourselves how we could do this easily. In my group, we had made two types of cords. One cord with a five structure and one cord with a ten structure. Each cord had two colors. Some students had worked with a lot of colors. Through this I learned that there are different structures to use en that you have to figure out yourself what works best for you. I also know now that you have to let children figure the structure out themselves, so that they get the knowledge that you need structure to measure easily, especially with bigger things.
