Grade 10 Personal Projects


Day 9

We continued working on our new math unit. We took up yesterday’s homework and then did a lesson on subtracting fractions. We did this using the same method as yesterday, namely by changing fractions to an equivalent fraction that has the same denominator and then subtracting the numerators. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 305 – 306 of the MMS textbook.

The rest of class time was spent working on exhibition. Students began their time conducting a self- and peer- assessment of their own and a partner’s research and note-taking skills. Students were then asked to discuss their primary research source and their action component ideas with their groups, mentors, and parents as planning needs to be done for these components. The remainder of exhibition time was used to complete the secondary research sources as we begin working on the essay on Monday.

Students had the opportunity to visit the Grade 10 personal projects today. Grade 6s attended at least 4 different presentations. We discussed what we learned, the strengths that inspired us and gave us ideas for our exhibition projects, and what we would do differently. Students had many ideas for their exhibition that they are super excited about.
