Description: This learning object shows students how to problem solve using the matter of division. Throughout the learning object, students are presented with a series of modules with dogs and biscuits. Each scenario presents a different number of dogs and a different amount of biscuits/toys in which students have to work out how many biscuits to share amongst the dogs so that each dog gets an equal amount. On the left hand side of the screen ( as seen in the above screenshots) the modules give you areas to see the problem and then a section for working out the problem. If students are still unsure about how this learning object works, there are step by step instructions outlined in the beige boxes. Sometimes the division problems that are given don't always work out equally and so students are required to figure out what to do with the remaining biscuits. At the completion of each problem, a full sum is shown.
Strategies to achieve the learning goal: The aim of this learning object is to provide a basis for students to create and trial predictions. It also aims to improve students maths capabilities by presenting them with various amounts of division problems in which they have to solve. By testing a range of number sentences and getting the students to restate the information, it allows them to start thinking mathematically which will become beneficial for them in the future. By having adequate maths knowledge, students will be able to manage and operate a range of ICT systems and hopefully solve a range of solutions to problems in which they encounter. This learning object acts as a strategic way of teaching students division because it provides them with countless amounts of examples in which they can repetitively take part in, ultimately reinforcing the notion of problem solving. This will increase students awareness of maths and skills on number and place value.
By exploring this learning object, students should further their understanding on ways to manage and operate ICT. They should be able to use those problem solving skills to identify and independently operate a range of software and seek solutions to problems which they encounter. They should be able to adjust placement of the mouse, keyboard and screen and adequately solve technical problems on a range of devices.
