In maths this year we have been learning to include others and to work as a team to complete the problem.Working in a team for me is very helpful for me because if i'm stuck,I have a group to help me when they share their ideas. I can listen and make a connection to their idea and what I already know about the problem.Working in a team the skills you need to use is contributing and listen to the person thats speaking.
In my team the problem I solved was a fraction problem about Nash and Sia. The problem was was to work out how many metres of material you needed to make 15 lava lava.I knew that 2/3 of a metre of material=1 whole lava lava.
First me and my group discussed each others thought about the problem then we started on the problem one of my team started us off and I disagreed with her idea
Then I grabbed the pen. I wrote down my ideas on paper
"Each lava lava uses 2/3 of a metre of material so we need to multiply 2/3 of a metre of material by 15 lava lavas = 30/3 once I got that I went 30 divided by 3 =10 whole metre" that was my answer.
I finished writing my ideas and I explained to my group and I had to make sure that my whole group is listening to me when I'm explaining. When I finish explaining to my group about my strategy I made sure everyone understands what I was talking about. If my group doesn't understand I can explain it in a different way.
When someone in my group is explaining their way of figuring out the problem, and someone is not listening and not focusing, I
try and include them in and make sure they understand the things the group is talking about. It is my responsibility to include them in the group because they might not feel like you're including them.
My next step is to not to be shy to explain to everyone and to feel confident about having a go even when I might not be right.
