  1. Nanna Filt Christensen, Denmark Students tutor younger students with theirownGeogebracourse Talk the 21st of September at 9:15

  2. Presentation • Teachmath, geography, chemistry and physics in Danish 8th. and 9th. grade • Teach an iPadclass and developingiPaddidactics • Author of teachingmaterials for physics/chemistry • Participated in the conference in Tartu last year (workshop title ”Students creatingtheirowntasks with storylines”)

  3. Project summary • 8th. grade: • 15 years old • Experiencedusers of GeoGebrasince 6th. grade • Have earlier made theirownGeoGebratasks for eachother and the parallel class • Confident with beingproductive due to the dailyuse of iPad • 6th. grade: • 13 years old • Totallyinexperienced in GeoGebra • Idea: • 8th. graders wouldthrough a homemadeGeoGebracourseintroduce the 6th. graders to GeoGebra. The 8th. graders wereteamed up with one or two 6th. graders beforehand. • The skilled students wereteamed up together and the ”weak” students wereteamed up together. • Time used: • Preparation of the course (8th. grade): 2 times 90 min. with computers • The get-together: 90 min. with computers for the 6th. graders

  4. Didactics • Students as the producers • Ownership and motivation • Creativity • Metacognitivethinking • A goodtask? • Progression • Learning curves • Evaluation • Empathy • Teaching • Differentperspective • Confidence

  5. Geogebracourses in the making What angle should I put on the polygons? Whatcan I teachaboutcircles? In which situations is GeoGebra a helpfultool? How can I make the description clear? How can I make the taskexciting for my student? What is ”GeoGebrabasics”?

  6. An example of a task

  7. The Get-together (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) Explaining the toolboxes Helping with a difficulttask

  8. Anotherexample of a task

  9. The Get-together (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) The shoetask Solvinga task with the line tool

  10. Task made by a ”weak” student

  11. Challenge for a skilled student

  12. The Get-together (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) Inner circles in triangles. The 8th. grader is proud of his 6th grader. The Red Hot Chilipeppersassignment The skilled 8th. grader teachtwoskilled 6th graders

  13. Experiences • It takes a lot of time to create a goodtask, thatcanbesolved in a fewminutes • When the task is not describedwell, it causesconfusion • When a product is put intouse, it willbeeasy to evaluate • Creating a task is a way to becomecomfortable with Geogebra as well as alwayssolvingtasks • The students appreciated and handled the variety of the differenttaskswell • Memorable to the normal mathlessons • Different students requiredifferentamount and kinds of help in solvingtasks • 6th. graders wereinspired to createtasks themselves

  14. Evaluation (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) (Videoclipremove to ensureprivacy for the children in the clip) It’s tough whenyou run out of tasks, when the session isn’t over Swichedroles at the end

  15. What the students said: 6th. grade • Nice to learn from eachother • Fun to create a task on yourown • Fun to work with math on the computer • Nice with mathtaught in a differentway • Fun to get to learnGeogebra as a tool for math • Great to choose from all sorts of differenttasks in the ”library” ”We never made icecream in mathbefore”

  16. What the students said: 8th. grade • Learned a lotaboutcreatingtasks, explainingto othersand more aboutGeogebra • Nice to seeyourwork put intouse • Changed a ”math-hater”s mind • A new perspective on math. You had to think ”beyondborders” • Fun to be a role model, teacher and inspiration to the younger students • Nice to work with Geogebra in a differentway

  17. Room for improvement… • Computer problems and difficulties • More time (both in creating and solving) • Some 8th. graders could have beenpreparedbetter • More tasks • More difficulttasks for the skilled students

  18. Development • 6th. graders creatingtasks themselves for eachother • In 2 years the 6th. graders will tutor a new 6th. grade • 9th. grade willcreate more difficultworksheets for 7th. grade thisyear (same students)

  19. Questions And thankyou for today!
