Private Universe Workshop 6. Possibilities of Real-Life Problems

In this video students were given a problem called the Cat walk. It was very interested to see how the student’s techniques for solving this problem changed as they tried to indentify the answer. The students really worked towards a solution. What I really liked about this video is the student collaborated with each other and how they truly learned from each other. After working on this problem they were than asked to determine whether or not the CEO should bet or not. During this video you can see how the students’ thinking has developed. I think that giving students real like situations grasps the students interest. As the other videos have shown it is very important to give the students freedom and time to solve problems and instill in them the importance of knowing why an answer is correct and how they went about solving it.
