Math Congress: Part Two

Here's the second video from our Math Congress this morning! Look below this post for our first video and a picture of our chart.

Math Congress: Part One

Today in school, we had a Math Congress about the factors of 24. Our goal was not just to figure out what the factors of 24 were--we did that easily--but to prove to another mathematician how we knew we had all the factors. Here are some snippets of our conversation today. You can use these videos to help you as you write about what you learned from our Math Congress today. Each video will be in a separate post!

We also charted some of the conjectures we discovered about finding factors. You can click on the chart to enlarge it.

Math Congress: Sharing our Strategies (by Will and Asa)

We made posters in math that showed our thinking on the Teachers' Lounge problems. We showed our strategies on the ELMO, and we told our strategies to the class. We then let the class solve our problems the way we did it. We showed our work using math equations, and then we explained what we did. Everyone learned a lot by our presentations. We learned a new way to solve the problems, like instead of using Partial Products you could use division (Partial Quotients). We had a great time sharing!!!!! Here are some videos of us sharing our strategies.
