Webinar Recordings SET A for Grades 5-6-Webinar 10 Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar is the final session in the Math Kangaroo Series A for levels 5 and 6. It included a range of math problems which required the use of multiple tools and techniques developed in previous sessions. Concepts covered included multiples, factors, geometry, proportions, logical reasoning, and spatial understanding. Participants were encouraged to approach problems from different angles, with the facilitator often explaining problems using various methods to highlight the flexibility in problem-solving strategies.<br /><br />Throughout the session, students engaged with diverse math challenges, such as calculating how many tiles are needed to form a square, the distance traveled using geometry, logical reasoning with card sorting, and calculating additional paint for a cube puzzle. The session emphasized creative problem-solving, suggesting the use of multiple methods and tools to verify solutions and approach multi-step problems effectively.<br /><br />The facilitator also announced that a new set of webinars, featuring different problems, would begin in January, encouraging students to continue participating for further skill development. Each participant's method could differ, yet all were valid, reinforcing an inclusive learning environment. The students were also left with reminders of the resources available to them for practice, stressing the importance of using video solutions and available codes to practice on different math problem sets before the next series in January.
