Mathematics

The Maths KLA, as I’m sure in every other corner of Mooroolbark College, has been extremely excited to welcome back our Year 7s and VCE students. The joys of seeing real faces and
expressions is unexplainable. Our VCE students are valuing their final weeks with their teachers and are grateful for direct feedback and conversations in preparation for their upcoming exams. Our Year 7 teachers have been having fun exploring Probability and Statistics through engaging and interactive activities. 

Whilst these might just look like a jumble to the untrained eye, our Year 7s have perfectly
present a dot plot and a scatter plot using themselves! Who says you can create giant graphs with chalk and a class of Year 7s? We sure can!

Since we have been onsite students have experience collecting many forms of data including accurate measurements of height and data from a variety of materials to analyse class data in diverse forms. 

Whilst we are having fun with our students onsite, we haven’t stopped enjoying new activities digitally with our students who are still learning from home. The Year 8 students have been collecting data, interpreting graphs and building 3D cities within their very own homes. We have enjoyed being able to continue to connect with them during remote learning.
