PYP 5- Silk Road Math
PYP5 is inquiring into their unit on
Exploration. They are learning about early world exploration, including the
Silk Road, navigation, Native Americans, and explorers from Leif Erikson
and Marco Polo to Conquistadors Hernando Cortes
and Francisco Pizarro. In math we are focusing on decimals. The
students worked in groups to conduct research projects on the five regions of
the Silk Road including: Mediterranean Europe, the Middle East, Central
Asia, South Asia, and China. They created products to sell based on their
region and what would have been traded during the 1200's to 1400's. Then they
created their own Silk Road Festival, where they bought and sold goods, while
using their knowledge of decimals to find totals and tax on the items. We
turned it into a game for points. Congratulations to Ivan (1st place), Melak
(2nd place), and Oscar (3rd place)! What a creative way to practice our skills
and enhance our unit of inquiry!
