Triciclo
loves chocolate, well… doesn’t everyone really?!
We
wanted to use our love of lollies to build our mathematical knowledge through
learning connected to our interests and to real life.
We
wanted to build our understanding of number concepts but also other mathematical
concepts as they arose naturally through our inquiry. We also developed our ability
to use various strategies and engage in math situations methodically. We also
had the opportunity to be extended and supported through our inquiry that had
multiple entry and exit points and was also cross-curricula.
Through
this inquiry we created our own chocolate factory. We designed lollies, we
decided on prices for our lollies, created shops, shopped for lollies using
real money (of different values to suit our conceptual understanding), and many
other things as they arose along the way. We also had multiple ways to
demonstrate our predictions, investigations, learning, and understandings.
