This blog houses reflections of and resources for students as they journey to an understanding of Geospatial Technologies.
I don't think there was any spatial thinking skills needed for playing Quiddler. I did notice that the students were trying to spell out the longest words possible in order to earn as many points as possible.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was watching the kid playing um... chest? Not pretty sure what it called.
ReplyDeleteBut um..he is basically Killing Nick, so....I think what he thinks is...."Dude, this guy" Is cool haha. But at the end, another kid found out a way for Nick to win, he basically kicked the board and ruined the sets. Muhahaha, What a Nice move...
And when the kid notice that Nick will be winning when I told him how to move, the kid wants me to keep quiet lol. I think that is also a way to insure his victory, cut out every help that his enemy might got. lolololol
The small person that played sudoku didn't use any thinking let alone spatial thinking.
ReplyDeleteHe would have failed at the easiest puzzle if it weren't for my epic sudoku skills.
I'm just that awesome.
Then again it was his first time playing sudoku...Bah! Details.
While watching the 5th graders play mancala they used a method that was effective ut not very effenctive. They only made a move unless they got a point while they did not strategize and try to get as many points as they could they just wanted to get one every turn but could have got a lot more.
ReplyDeleteWhile watching the 5th graders play mancala I noticed a different, yet similar space strategy that i use myself in the game. While watching the girls play I saw them stop and think for a second about the move they were about to make by counting the amount of spaces and marbles they had so when it was their turn they could get more marbles on their side. I found their strategy to be SUPER effective, because at the end of the game the girls ended up tieing! I believe this is because they both used the same strategy and thought and planned their moves out before they made them. :)
ReplyDeleteWhile playing the board game with the fifth graders I saw that they were trying to anticipate the other players moves to help them get as many pieces the their color. Some of them were better at this than others. One of the fifth graders would take as much time as he could to make sure that is where he wanted to move and which move would benefit him best. Another fifth graders would just put a piece somewhere and not really think about it, and it didnt benefit him very well.
ReplyDeleteWhen watching the 5th graders play mancala they all started out by just grabing random marbles but as the game went on they realized that if grabed a certian amount moved certian marbles at certian times it would give them more chances to move their marbles and results in more marlbes on their side in the end. They start to plan out when they were going to move certian marbles and how that would benefit them in the end.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the fifth grader that I was playing against was using spatial thinking in where he was going to move next and not ahead to where he cold move in the future.
ReplyDeleteHe was also spatial thinking when he was watching my moves.
