Our DP students enjoyed a collaborative Think-a-thon on the 11th
of July, 2018, in which they integrated their understanding of Mathematics with
the tools of TOK! As an international school that prides itself in a culture of
collaborative thinking, the Think-a-thon was a perfect platform for our
inquirers and thinkers of the Diploma Programme to make their thoughts heard.
Even as our students took sides and justified their positions on whether
they thought mathematical patterns like the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden
Ratio, questions such as ‘do patterns exist in the real world?’ and ‘are
patterns subjective?’ had everyone think aloud.
Our students dissected their essays, shared artefacts such as sea horses
and shells, and presented their research and insight into patterns and their
links to other Areas of Knowledge, and the branches of mathematics itself.
The Think-a-thon was truly collaborative and saw our students think on
their toes to connect their knowledge of mathematics with larger knowledge
issues!
