Let's plan something! Maybe voice thread would be a fun way to go. Cathy Hi Britt,

I really like the way you are asking your students to think and comment about their work. I wondered if you might be interested in a maths project with my year 7 students? I am doing an action research project about maths, science and social networking. My students are having real difficulties with fractions, ratio, decimals and percentages (as they usually do at this level). I thought a kids-teaching-kids approach may be helpful. If I posted the problem with an incorrect answer, would your students be able to explain how they would go about solving it? If you are interested we could use 'scbd', 'tokbox'' or maybe 'Teachertube' to record and post the responses on a wiki? Perhaps you may know of other maths teachers who may be interested? Best regards, Britt Gow Hi Mrs Laguna,
