Mathematical Expert Shares Passion with Students

5/10/2018

Mrs. Moloney's Second Grade Class has been so fortunate to have Dr. Valerie DeBellis come into class as a guest mathematical expert.   She has been working with the students on ways to become better problem-solvers 
 
This week's big math question was "How many different ways can you arrange six squares together so they will fold into a cube?"  

Using six squares and working in teams of two or three, our second grade students discovered how to build a two-dimensional figure that can be folded into a three-dimensional object (called a net).  Not all arrangements of squares will fold into a cube.  For example, a net of six squares arranged into the shape of a Cross will fold into a cube, but a net of six squares arranged in a straight line will not fold into a cube.  How many different nets, made from six squares, can you find that fold into a cube?

If you're not sure ... ask one of our second grade students!

Honestly, it's a great pleasure to see how mathematical experts share their passion with students. I think the trustee has to promote a passion-based learning system in the classroom. I think it is significant to let the learners pursue their own passions independently. However, it is equally cardinal to share their passions with other individuals. Particularly, in the deficiency of evaluation and assessment, the act of glossing something privately fulfilling intensifies the person's agitation and encourages him to share it further.
