This is also a Growth Mindset Project


There will be one of three outcomes for students work

10/30/2014 7 M. Cox 2013


Growth Mindset Fixed Mindset

Mindset Learning

Option 1 Negative Habits

Option 2 Positive Habits

Option 3 Change or Shift

I am not sure what to do

I will read instructions/ask I will make a start

I will ask for guidance/use initiative I will make a start with basics I will get basics finished/changed I will take work to the next level Progress/redraft/achievement

Overcome difficulty through effort Use or find solutions

Redrafts and completed work Will make it happen

Learn to progress through challenge

Mindset Learning

I will wait to be told I will look busy

I will ask to be spoon fed I will make little progress I will start multiple times I will say its not my fault I will use Avoidance/blame Lose/forget work/find excuses Quote problems/ give up Not complete or finish Will make it not happen Learn to avoid challenge

Mindset Learning (Higher level)

I will wait to be told I will look busy

I will ask to be spoon fed I will do what I am good at or avoid what I cant do

I will stick to what I do best or I will avoid mistakes

I will not take risks/leave CZ I will avoid the challenge /work I will only do what I can do

I will avoid doing what I can’t do Learn to avoid challenge or

challenge the task

10/30/2014 10 M. Cox 2013

•Make a Start • Make it happen • Make mistakes • Make it better • Make the effort

• Make it worthwhile • Make it valuable • Make a difference • Make it matter

• Try and make it excellent (at the end, not the start)


10/30/2014 11 M. Cox 2013

A make a mistake that makes you humble is always better than an

achievement that makes you arrogant.


Starting Points

10/30/2014 12 M. Cox 2013

Examples of what you might do

Aim

To Show some statistics on the First World War

Objectives

To produce a bar chart, pie chart, graph to show numbers To research data and main facts To use some form of data analysis To present research and findings using statistical analysis opportunity to develop/redraft and progress ideas or findings

10/30/2014 13 M. Cox 2013

Aim

To Learn about the First World War through maths

Objectives

To find out, know and not forget. To appreciate the sacrifice made a an entire generation. To understand the importance of remembrance and respect. To develop a comprehension of the scale of the Great War. Opportunity to have a common focus in Maths and in School.

10/30/2014 14 M. Cox 2013

Compare – 2 variables

The figures for the British and Germans

Compare

Basic facts - Amount of men, ships, planes, guns, shells, tanks. Amount killed, injured etc Life expectancy, health, probability of injury etc Percentage of National youth killed or involved Numbers of women involved in the war effort at home/at war

10/30/2014 15 M. Cox 2013

Presentation of Data

Data Analysis and presentation could include and progress into: Charts Tables Bar Graphs Pie Charts Line Graphs Histograms, scatter graphs, continuous v discrete categories

10/30/2014 16 M. Cox 2013

Analysis For comparisons choose tools and develop your levels of maths:

Basic facts Quantity or numbers Ratio Fractions Decimals Percentages Probability Formula

10/30/2014 17 M. Cox 2013

Evaluation of Project At the end of the Project you will write a self evaluation to discuss: What was your starting point on this project (Mathematically)? What you have gained from this project in terms of study skills? What areas of Maths have improved? How this project has developed your Maths? Identify how you could expand or develop this project.

10/30/2014 18 M. Cox 2013

Assessment of Project

At the end of the Project you will be Peer Assessed Against the Success Criteria How your work and presentation looks Mathematical content and accuracy Originality, Relevance, research and Innovation How well you have Self Assessed What you have learnt from Peer Assessment for yourself and from the work of others.

10/30/2014 19 M. Cox 2013

Some Possible Ideas - WWI

What was the difference in the armies (Size, numbers, men, countries involved)? What was the difference in the losses (Men, ships, planes, horses)? What was the cost of the war? What was the average age of the soldiers/dead/casualties/life expectancy? How much food was transported? What was the total amount of bullets/shells fired during the war? What was the probability of surviving the war or not surviving? What was the impact on society. (Using Maths to show your ideas/findings)
