Maths Intervention

Maths Intervention



Math Intervention is where students are placed in group that are at their level. This time we had 3 groups and I was with Mrs Harwood. We worked in partners and made a bungee cord from thick rubber bands. We threaded rubber band through the bulldog clip and we attached a bag full of marbles to the bulldog clip. When we filled the whole bag with marbles we dropped it from a very high level and the marbles went through the bag twice. The longest stretch was about 1m and I was quite surprised that the marbles didn't go through the bag. We also made a scatter plot which we all had to search up to find out, well most of us did. It was great fun to work with Mrs Harwood at Math Intervention. Most of us got to the 2nd page or the end of the 1st page.
