Making Learning Authentic

Sep 3, 2020 | Katipo - Year 3 blog

Pokemon cards are very popular in the Year three class.  So I decided what a great motivator to bring the cards into the learning.  In Mathematics we are learning about Data Handling.  The students are using the Pokemon cards to create a database using Purple mash, 2Investigate.  After they have built their database they can use the information to create different graphs, sort the data and write a report on their findings.  They are all so highly motivated as you can see from the photos.

The children have also shown me how to play the game during a Math lesson as there is an incredible amount of math involved especially adding and subtracting of tens and hundreds.
