Stanford Maths Lessons Blurbs (Term 3)

Hey guys today I will be talking about our Stanford maths lessons. So let's get into it!

Lesson 1.
In lesson they just really asked us what level were we at for maths? So we watched a introduction video! Then after the video we had to do a pre-course survey. Then we watched another video where they interviewed people and asked them how do they feel about maths? After we watched the video they asked us why do you think people don't like maths? After I answered it I moved onto the next video. There was something like a pattern as you can see it went video question video question you'll get it. In the next video they talked about how if you fail it is actually really good for you! Because when you fail in maths or anything! Synapse fire in you brain and your brain ends up to grow! After the video hat asked us What is a really important message you just heard? then they gave us a bunch of different choices to choose from! The next video that we did was about brain growth and how your brain grows as you learn new things! Then they asked us a question about the video to know that we watched it. Then there was another video that was about stereotypes. It was called smashing stereotypes. When they said stereotypes they meant maths stereotypes. Then they just asked us what did you learn from lesson 1? I had to write done a paragraph.

Lesson 2.
In lesson 2 they started off with another video about mindset and how it can help you in your learning if you have a right mindset. Then they asked us a question that was which one of those behaviours can help someone in maths? Then I had to choose 2 answers. After that they had another video about messages about maths. Then they asked a question that was Why do you think that when students were praised for being smart they then chose the easy problem? Then I wrote a sentence of my answer. Then there was another video that was Messages about you. I watched it then went onto the next question here's the question What are some important things you learned today that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph, please. I wrote my answer in a paragraph and went onto the next lesson.

Lesson 3.
In the next lesson there was a video that was called: Mistakes: New Evidence. After the video there was a question that was Why is it good to make a mistake in maths? Write a complete sentence, please. I wrote a sentence then I went onto the next video. It was called Mistakes and Success in life. I watched and then answered the question which was Choose one of the behaviours we reviewed earlier that are used by successful people in the world and write about the way you could use it in your approach to maths and . First choose the behaviour you want to write about. Then I chose an answer.Then the next video was about, Maths and speed. After I watched it I went onto the question. They asked: What are some important things you learned today about mistakes, struggle, and speed that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph, please. Then I wrote my answer. 

Lesson 2.
The next video was about Number flexibility. After I watched it I answered a question that was: What is 18 x 5? I wrote my answer, and went onto the next video that was: What is 18 x 5? Then I went onto the next question that was: Which of the visuals shows you the method of working out 9 x 10 instead of 18 x 5? Then I answered it. The next video was called: 12 x 15. Then I went onto the question that was called: Calculate 12 x 15 by changing the numbers into friendlier numbers as we saw in the videos. Show how you work it out – type out your methods using the number keys on your computer here, I answered it then watched the next video it was called: Talking About Maths. Then I answered a question that was Why do you think that the students who worked on maths together did so well in their maths class afterwards? Then I went onto the next video Called: Reasoning. I watched it then Went onto the question Why is it useful to learn to reason? I answered the question then went to the next video. PISA Results. After the video I answered a question that was: What are two things that you see in the graph above from PISA? Who does really well in maths? Then I watched the next video that was: Mathematical Strategies Then I went onto the question that was: Write about some of these important ideas for someone of your own age. In a paragraph explain to them why these ideas are important for their learning.

Lesson 3.
On the next lesson there was a video that I watched that was called: Making Sense & Intuition I watched it then answered the question that was: A man is on a diet and goes into a shop to buy some turkey slices. He is given 3 slices which together weigh 1/3 of a pound but his diet says that he is only allowed to eat 1/4 of a pound. The next video was called Drawing and Representing. Then there was a question that was: What did you learn from watching the three visual solutions? then there was a video that was: Fractions: A Relationship. Then there was a question that was: Which is bigger 3/4 or 7/10? Then there was a video that was: Fractions: Same Size Pieces. Then there was a question that was: What fraction of the above shape is shaded? then there was a video that was: Fractions: Big Ideas. Then there was a question that was: What are two big ideas in the learning of fractions? Then there was a video that was: Ideas vs. Memorisation. Then there was a question that was: In this session we have talked about making sense, drawing and representing, using intuition, and looking for the big idea. What are some important things you learned today that everyone your age should know? Write a paragraph, please.

Lesson 4.
There was a video that was: Maths and Patterns. Then there was a question that was: In your own words, what did Fibonacci discover? Then there was a video that was: Snowflakes and Spiders. Then there was a question that was: Which of these animals do you think is also an expert in building spirals? Then there was a video that was: Maths and Dance. then there was a question that was: Which of the above angles did you see in the ballet moves? Then there was a video that was: Maths and Hip-Hop then there was a question that was: Which of the above patterns did you see in the hip hop video? This is a difficult one, but just have a go. It doesn’t matter if you are wrong. then there was a video that was: 

Maths and Juggling Then there was a question that was: What maths is involved in juggling? the there was a video that was: Maths in the World. Then there was a question that was: What other cool examples of maths in the world can you think of? Then there was a video called: Maths and Work. then there was a question called: Which of these statements do you agree with? Then there was a video called: Maths and Technology. Then there was a question: What makes a good maths app or video game? Then there was a video that was: Course Ideas. Then there was a question that was: Here are some main ideas from the course. Check all of those that you thought were helpful for you. Then there was a video that was: Post-survey. Then there was a post survey that I did.

Then I was done the survey! Here is my certificate:

Anyway that's all for today bye!!
