PDF Lesson 7- Level 3-4 - Logical Reasoning - presentation

Pdf Summary

The document provides a comprehensive outline for a Math Kangaroo class aimed at students in levels 3-4, focusing on enhancing their logical reasoning skills through a variety of problems and exercises. It includes a warm-up problem about calculating the number of oranges Sophie ate, using a systematic problem-solving strategy divided into four steps: understanding the problem, planning, carrying out the plan, and reviewing the solution.<br /><br />This class offers a toolkit of problem-solving strategies such as finding patterns, drawing diagrams, making organized lists, guessing and checking, using tables, and logical reasoning. Each lesson focuses on using these strategies to tackle different types of logical reasoning problems, such as determining the order of items, filling grids with specific figures, evaluating sums in number codes, and analyzing conditions involving numbers and ages.<br /><br />Specific problems include:<br />- Distributing oranges among Carl, Eva, and Sophie.<br />- Ordering the consumption of ice cream among four boys.<br />- Determining the positions of figures and triangles based on given conditions.<br />- Solving for the number of insects on flowers and the ages in complex family relationships.<br />- Figuring out the distribution of candy among boys and arranging colored triangles into a larger shape.<br /><br />The wrap-up encourages students to reflect on the use of logical reasoning throughout the lessons, focusing on when and how the strategy was helpful, challenges encountered, and strategies to overcome them. Additionally, students engage in "Genius Hour," where they create, share, and receive feedback on their own math problems, fostering a collaborative learning environment. The lessons aim to build problem-solving skills that require creativity and logical inference, vital for young learners’ intellectual development.
