Mathematics - Connections through Surfing

The dual purpose of this unit of work is to enable students to recognise the importance of Mathematics in their lives by applying it in a real life context, and to make connections between their lives and the Mentawai people.

During the course of this unit of work the students will develop skills in interpreting problems, conducting research and independent, self-regulated learning. They develop and become familiar with metalanguage, higher order thinking and knowledge integration. These skills empower the student to continue education outside of a formal institution. Their success can be assessed in the short term by observation, questions of the teacher, speed and quality of progress through the worksheets.
