Children from St. Patrick’s PS and our P6/7 came together to focus on improving their learning in mathematics and numeracy. Working together in small groups the children solved a diverse range of Izak9 tasks. This shared learning environment provided an ideal forum for collaborative work including opportunities for self-expression, discussion and debate.
Izak9 supports a range of learning styles i.e. visual, kinaesthetic and auditory, thus allowing each child to contribute in his/her own way to solving the problems posed by their online facilitators, Abacus and Helix.
In these photographs, which were taken during the first session, the children can already be seen working together happily in groups, presenting their mental maths strategies and problem solving techniques to others.
