A quiz to review percentages

All our students know what a percentage is, and how to calculate percentage of a quantity. So, all we want to get is to review some concepts, and methods of calculation. And, if it is possible, to make it enjoying.

So, finally we organized a quiz between two teams. They can get some points, and they can also lose them if they are wrong in any answer. Here you have the presentation we used. It was really funny, and we use two or more sessions to finish the quiz!

Gymkhana in Benamahoma

We are five teachers in our bilingual group: one of Natural Sciences, another one for Arts and Crafts, the language assistant, the bilingual coordinator (she is an English Teacher), and I, as a maths teacher. A social sciences teacher is supposed to be with us, but finally, we still don't have any.

However, last year, when we were preparing some materials and activities for this course, we used to work in the integrated curriculum, chosing one unit of social sciences and trying to prepare activities in our subjects related with that social sciences unit.

For the first term in ESO 2nd Course, we prepare an excursion to Benamahoma, related with the unit about Arabic Age in Spain. We prepare a Gymkhana in Benamahoma with several quizes related with maths, natural sciences or Arts and Crafts, and, later, we walked the path from Benamahoma to El Bosque along the river, searching some species between such biodiversity.

Here are some of the files related with this activity.

Here you can read a blog post about this day in the language assistant blog.

Welcome to our blog

Here you will find some of the activities we will make in our bilingual mathematics class. This year, we will work in ESO 2nd level and we will work in two directions:

1. We will make activities related with the units we are working in class (Divisibility, Integer Numbers, Sexagesimal System, Fractions, Proporcionality, Algebra, Equations, Geometry, etc)
2. We will also work in some e-twinning projects (Too many things to measure, Around the circle and the wheel, etc).

We hope you will find useful this information. And for anything you like, don't hesitate and send us a comment. See you soon!
