Rock Brain and his BFF Glassman are our next Unthinkables. These two keep us rigid ( Rock Brain) and have BIG reactions to small problems or change ( Glassman ). The Perfection game is what one group is playing during rotations. The teacher is having the kids notice what is more comfortable- seeing the timer or not. The stress of racing, the noise, anticipation and feelings are discussed. To kick off these Unthinkables all the children watched the Escalator Problem (several times). They giggled and understood that Rock Brain was in the video but found it hard to articulate how the people were defeated by Rock Brain. They focussed on the problem of the escalator. See if you can spot the rock brain thinking and a different way the people could have solved their unexpected problem. | In my group the children are creating their own Escalator type problem that shows the rigid reaction vs the Flexible one. They have a choice of a few iPad apps. Movies coming soon! |
