WEBINAR Feb 12, 2022: Math Kangaroo Finding a Pattern for Grades 3-4-Presentation Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the Math Kangaroo Level 3-4 webinar, hosted by Dr. Sarah Sagee, participants explored the theme of finding patterns to solve problems more efficiently. The session emphasized breaking down complex problems into simpler parts using patterns, which are instrumental in tackling Math Kangaroo challenges. Dr. Sagee, with help from high school assistant Alan, advised participants to post questions in the chat for assistance, as microphones and cameras were disabled.<br /><br />The webinar presented a series of pattern-related questions involving visual sequences, numeric patterns, and logic puzzles. Participants engaged with these exercises through a step-by-step problem-solving method that involved understanding the question, devising a plan, carefully implementing the solution, and reviewing the result for accuracy.<br /><br />Specific challenges included identifying patterns in sequences, solving visual puzzles, and applying logical reasoning to hypothetical scenarios involving objects like dice and fences. The goal was to develop flexible problem-solving strategies adaptable to various contexts.<br /><br />Throughout the session, participants were encouraged to practice these skills further, especially for more challenging tasks like those involving geometric and arithmetic patterns. Dr. Sagee underscored the importance of practice and offered guidance on where to find additional resources, such as Math Kangaroo sample questions, for continued learning. The webinar concluded with a call for feedback to improve future sessions.
