Math with Mom and Dad


Group A with Mr.Saadeh


Group B with Mrs.Itani


Group C with Mrs.Shehab

The last math period was not the same as everyday for grade 6 students.Special visitors were present in our class.Three parents were invited to attend the math class with their children.Students were divided into 3 groups and every parent joined one.The session started, every student and the parents took a worksheet that contains 27 mathematical expressions.Then,collaborative work started.Students' and parents' job was to answer these expressions correctly in order to unlock the password.Each group selected a reporter to announce the group's result.The password was: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
P= parentheses
E= exponent
M=multiplication
D= division
A= addition
S= subtraction
At the end of the session, every parent filled a questionnaire to check if they enjoyed this session and if they would like to repeat this experience with their children. Also, every parent took a thank you card for their effective contribution.
When mom and dad are present Learning becomes definitely so much fun!
