😆😆😆 Celebrating 105 years of H H Sheikh Zayed with BODMAS😆😆😆

 Cross-curricular learning offers a creative way of developing knowledge, understanding and improving practical skills through a study of interconnected topics. The primary teachers engaged grade 5 students in an innovative activity “105 years of H H Sheikh Zayed” that integrated the rich culture of the UAE with Ordering Mathematical operations using BODMAS. Students used this concept to formulate multiple expressions that all yield the result 105.

Student Reflections - 

I always enjoy a challenge. When my math teacher mentioned we would be integrating My Identity into math, it fueled my curiosity to what the activity could be. H H Sheikh Zayed was born on 6th May, 1918.  To mark the importance of this day we used the four basic mathematical operations to celebrate His Highness’s 105th birthday. After understanding the significance of the order of operations using BODMAS I got to work and created as many expressions as I could to get the result 105! This activity was creative and innovative. Thank you Ms. Rafia for this enjoyable activity!! By - Deeksha Narasimman, Student of Grade 5B1 Fun with BODMAS I enjoyed this activity with BODMAS as it helped improve my creativity and taught me new concepts. The BODMAS order of operation is important because it gives us a standard method to follow while interpreting arithmetic expressions. Working on this activity helped me learn BODMAS in a fun and engaging way. Through this activity the process of learning met fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!  By:- Arshiya Student of Grade 5B1 BODMAS with My History is My Identity  When Ms. Rafia wrote the word “BODMAS” on the white board, I was intrigued and was curious to know what it meant. She started explaining in depth about this concept and how it is implemented. I learned that “BODMAS” is an acronym and each letter signifies a mathematical operation that helps us solve a multi operational complex equation in a precise pattern. I tried various combinations to get the number 105 and this was a fun way of learning a basic math concept. By:- Katelyn Student of Grade 5B1                              How did I celebrate H H Sheikh Zayed’s birthday? H H Sheikh Zayed was born on 6th May, 1918 and his birthday is a grand occasion celebrated in the UAE. I celebrated his birthday a bit differently this year by working on the “Fun with BODMAS” activity in Math class. It was an innovative activity where I thought of different ways to make 105, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. How was the experience of BODMAS? This activity was fun to do and was an exciting experience. What new things did you learn? I learnt how to divide to get the answer 105. What challenges did I face in this activity? I faced a challenge when working on multiplication as I was really confused but with determination I kept trying till I got the answer. How would I rate this activity? I would give it 10/10 as it was very enjoyable and I learned a lot of new things.  By:- Ashni Student of Grade 5B1

💖👩💖 Acrostic Poems on Mother💖👩💖

 Many hugs

Only love, never anger

Teaching me always

Helping me with everything

Every smile when I was sad

Raising me to be strong

It spells Mother, 

Thanks for being you.

📙📘📗 My Exam Phobic Mind📗📘📙

 So many exams, such less time…

How do I calibrate my anxious mind?

I am looking for intervention divine,

To take me across this sea of mines.

I search in libraries… 

I searched online…

For ways to stretch out my time,

Solutions I am yet to find.

Management is the key some say,

Yet my scared little mind says nay.

Tired at the end of day… 

“Why is my mind in disarray?”

“Is there any other way?”

Let me lie down on some hay, 

And put some rest to all this sway.

For tomorrow will be a perceptive new day.

Sun shines bright again as May,

Ideas flow into my mind and stay.

Plans I chalk out in such way,

Phobias will be conquered today!!
