Students are set the open task of finding the number of sticks required to make a three dimensional model of an array of chicken boxes of any size. Students are then challenged to find other patterns in the whole array. Students first look at patterns in additional rows, and then combine these rules with the rules for the first row to calculate quantities of components for the entire array. Students consider patterns arising from the number of components in an array of boxes. Lesson 3: Modelling an Array of Chicken Boxes Students apply and test their understandings from the previous lesson by finding similar relationships for rows of triangular and hexagonal prism based bird boxes. Through class discussion, students see that there is more than one correct rule for describing a particular pattern. Students are guided to move from recursive thinking to the relational thinking of functions. Students can practice, take spelling tests and play games with our. Students model, develop and describe rules for the number of panels needed to build a row of chicken boxes for a poultry show. Sort chickens with this silly kindergarten math game where your young student will. Some upper primary students may use this unit as a scaffolded introduction to the use of letters to stand for varying quantities. The sequence requires very little background knowledge and only simple whole number calculation. This sequence is designed to develop some of the basic elements of algebraic thinking, before students encounter formal algebra. The enabler may innocently show the unwary a beautiful breed in their.
There is often an incubator, feed store, or online chick catalog involved, and more often than not, the Force works through an enabler. Chicken Math is stealthy and can be facilitated by ordinary objects or people. They discuss the equivalence of different rules. They design and construct some different cages, observing the changes in the relationships between variables. The Force is powerful, undeniable and knows no boundaries.
They model and generalise how the number of walls required increase with the number of cages, making tables and graphs and writing rules. Students look at number patterns and rules using the context of cages at a poultry show.
