The Collatz Conjecture, Strike a Pose, Rhyme Time

Hello! Happy Thursday!

Today in Math, we explored the Collatz Conjecture.

(A conjecture is an inference formed without proof or sufficient evidence.)

The Collatz Conjecture works like this:

- Choose any whole number.

- If it's an even number, divide by 2.

If it's an odd number, multiply by 3 and add 1.

- Continue this process until your sequence ends.

- Choose another number and create the sequence.

- What do you notice? What do you think will happen?

-What conjecture do you have?

(Learn more about the Collatz Conjecture HERE.)

Please ask me about the Collatz Conjecture. What numbers did my group and I choose? What did we notice?

For our next activity, we had a special guest. Mme Champagne!

She introduced us a to new French routine, Recréer la pose. (Strike a pose).

How it works :

- a volunteer comes up to the front and CANNOT look behind them

- a photo of a model pose is then projected on the screen behind them

- students must give verbal directions (no actions) to have the student recreated the pose

- at the end, we compare to see how we did!

Mme Champagne was our first model!

Strike a pose!

How did we do?

We look forward to continuing this fun routine in the spring!
