This lesson is for : Grade 5:
Summary
After learning about tree diagrams through a Math on the Spot video and spot check , students created their own tree diagrams in Google Slides. They collaborated to come up with the choices and map them out in a tree diagram with embedded pictures and animations to show all the possible combinations.
TIPC Ratings
Research & Information Fluency
Rating: Entry – Explanation: Students acquired information about tree diagrams using the provided Math on the Spot video.
Communication & Collaboration
Rating: Ideal – Explanation: Students selected their own partners and decided who would do what within the project. Using Google Slides, they were able to collaboratively build their tree diagram. In Google Classroom, they were able to easily share their completed projects and reflect/make comments on others work.
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
Rating: Approaching – Explanation: Students were only asked to create a tree diagram. They had to determine when is an appropriate time to use a tree diagram (when is a time that you have to make multiple choices?). They used Google Slides to demonstrate how to solve the problem that they created.
Creativity & Innovation
Rating: Approaching – Explanation: Students had lots of voice and choice in this project. They could make a tree diagram about anything they wanted as long as multiple choices were being made and they ended up with a sample space of the possible combinations at the end of the lesson. Students created meaningful, original work on Google Slides to show what they had learned about tree diagrams.
