= = = Team Project: Resource Based Learning Due Monday, Week 6 =

Introduction
This project is designed to help you learn how to effectively use different resources to support your learning. You can use this wikispace to find out what you need to do and how you'll be assessed. You can use your team's wikispace to plan and record your learning for this project. Remember that anyone on the Internet can view your wiki, so make sure you make appropriate entries and use protective behaviours. Remember to check this page regularly to keep you up to date. Each team is to explore a particular area of mathematics, using at least two different resources.

Make sure you include the following information at the top of your team's wikispace home page:

Our Team's Topic is: Our Team's first type of resource is: Our Team's second type of resource is:

//Available topics with their first types of resources (allocated by the teaching team)//
Pascal’s Triangle – Internet Hurdles Race – Peer Discussion Fibonacci – Printed text (eg books) Surprise – Directed investigation (also known as DI, available on the portal or the R drive) Valley Deep/Mountain High – Experimentation (use the instructions on the DI) Graphing points and lines – Electronic Resources

Using the Integral Learning Model
Your team needs to consider how you can use your resources to learn your topic, and document your learning about how to use resources to help you learn maths using the different //perspectives// of the four Quadrants in the Integral Learning Model: You need to do and document the mathematical learning before you will be able to complete these activities.
 * Blue – Compare and contrast the two resources.
 * Green – Make a guide on how locate and how to use the primary resource.
 * Yellow – Create a troubleshooting FAQ for other groups to use.
 * Red – Evaluate our use of both types of resource for learning in our topic.

In your wiki you need to include:

 * A demonstration of your team's mathematical learning in your topic – fully worked solutions at public presentation standard
 * Each of the ILM quadrant activities listed above

You each need to email to your teacher:
-- =Assessment=
 * Individual reflections from each team member, including what you have learned about
 * Resource-based learning
 * Team work
 * the Integral Learning Model
 * Maths
 * Other team’s products

Criteria for assessment We want: Outcome 2.3 Can demonstrate knowledge of key mathematical ideas 2.5 Can judge the appropriateness and limitations of solutions in given situations. 2.6 Can understand and communicate effectively using the language, notation and symbolism of mathematics Outcome 3.2. Can demonstrate oral, written, visual and digital literacies to communicate ideas and information Outcome 4.7 Can contribute to a team achieving its desired goals // The team can justify its choice of learning resources. // Outcome 6.3 Can select, interpret and compare information from a range of sources 6.4 Can identify points of view and possible bias in texts and take this into account when considering the appropriateness of texts to a task 6.6 Can evaluate performance on a task, reflect on new learning, respond constructively to feedback by applying advice to new tasks
 * Organised group work **
 * Learning to source appropriate information **
 * Learn maths in the process **
 * Appropriate presentation of work **
 * Operates mathematically **
 * Can communicate effectively **
 * Can work both autonomously and collaboratively **
 * Can demonstrate critical literacy **
 * General Expectation of what the students do, this will be formally assessed in the individual project. **
