Math meets Design: Grade 9 mathematicians using graph theory to plan possible routes around Tokyo to maximize time at key attractions on their extended learning trip. Who will have the “best” route? #NISinquire#reallifepanning#extendedlearning
Grade 7 students “directing their own learning” of math operations. “Multiplying” their learning “power” by including, not “dividing” and choosing “roots” that make sense and interest them. From games to engage to collaboration to extend - choice is fundamental to good learning!
If everyone in the room must handshake with every other person, how many handshakes would there be? Grade 9 mathemagicians testing their theories. There were 14 in the room. How many handshakes? Can you solve it? #nisinquire#handshakesallround
Grade 7 geomaticians wondering and using their creativity and spatial knowledge to determine how best to organize NIS parking. Bonus question: who painted the lines on the current main parking? #nisinquire#reallifecontext
Grade 9 Algebra Detectives. How can we put our algebra skills to the test to solve clues? - “algebra is a helpful tool and not a hurdle” - wonderful comments that will serve them well. #NISinquire#MurderMystery
Grade 7s engaging in critical thinking and collaborative problem solving right on Day 1. It’s going to be a fun year with these keen mathematicians #nisinquire#brainden
@NIS_Mathematics Who says math has to be tedious? Try turning solving quadratic problems into a scavenger hunt! This fun activity not only makes math more engaging but also helps develop problem-solving skills. So grab your friends and let the quadratic scavenger hunt commence.
Grade 7 maths S using creative thinking skills to Investigate linear patterns and critically thinking skills to evaluate their peer’s work #NISinquire#iteachmaths#youcubed#maths
Grade 10 mathematicians questioning the answers, rather then answering the questions. An intentional mistake in the “solutions” prompted wonderful discussions and a call to find out for themselves. #inquirers#comminicators#NISinquire
What do we know about π? Reflected on the right-side 3.14 spells PIE. π Day was last week. Akira Haraguchi has unofficially memorised it to 111,700 digits and, without notice, a classmate can recall 50 digits! Then there's, https://t.co/nRF5vLNnFS #piday2022
Who needs technology when you have triganometti? Grade 10s using spaghetti to investigate relationships between circles and graphs of the trigonometric functions. #NISinquire
Congratulations to the final four contestants representing NIS in this year's MathCounts Competition. Best of luck with the results and congratulations on making it this far! #NISinspire#mathcounts
