PYP5 is inquiring into their unit on Exploration. They are learning about
early world exploration, including the Silk Road, navigation, Native
Americans, and explorers from Leif Erikson and Marco Polo to Conquistadors
Hernando Cortes and Francisco Pizarro. In math we are focusing on
decimals. The students worked in groups to conduct research projects on the
five regions of the Silk Road including: Mediterranean Europe, the Middle
East, Central Asia, South Asia, and China. They created products to sell based
on their region and what would have been traded during the 1200's to 1400's.
Then they created their own Silk Road Festival, where they bought and sold
goods, while using their knowledge of decimals to find totals and tax on the
items. We turned it into a game for points. Congratulations to Ivan (1st
place), Melak (2nd place), and Oscar (3rd place)! What a creative way to
practice our skills and enhance our unit of inquiry!
