Math routines are an important part of our math program. One such routine is called “Which One Doesn’t Belong?” or WODB<\/a> in English. In class, we’ve translated it to\u00a0Quel est l’intrus?<\/em><\/p>\n

Students must identify and explain which image doesn’t belong. There may be a few possible answers. Rather than it be about finding the ‘right’ answer, the focus is on explaining why their answer makes sense to them.<\/p>\n

In math, we’re learning that we need to be precise and logical with our ideas. Students practice a few core competencies<\/a> in this activity – communication, critical thinking, and creative thinking.<\/p>\n

Recently, on a hike, I spotted four different mushrooms. Together, we discussed which one didn’t belong.\"\"<\/a>One student reasoned that Mushroom #1 didn’t belong because it was more narrow than the others. Another said that Mushroom #4 didn’t belong because it was the only one growing on the ground rather than on trees. Someone else added that Mushroom #4 was the only one that grew alone rather than in clusters.<\/p>\n

This math routine had us talk about form, size, colour, quantity, and orientation. Not only were we thinking like mathematicians but also like scientists!<\/p>\n

We were curious to identify these local fungi. With the help of books and the Internet, we think:<\/p>\n
