Bey blades are beautiful

Our math centre continues to be the hub of "bey blade" action it was weeks ago. We are amazed at the sustained interest in building and testing these spinning toys.

Last week, I visited the centre with the camera and snapped an action shot:

 The boys were fascinated at how different the t-shaped toy looked in motion. Suddenly it transformed shape into a circle, and the colours became blended.

I handed the camera over the the boys to snap their own shots.

They were especially intrigued how the square "bey blades" were also transformed into a circle.

Three of the boys wanted to document their observations by painting their spinning bey blades, using the photos as a guide.

We continue to search for ways of deepening the learning happening at this centre, through oral discussions, artwork, and scientific experiments.
