Codebreakers Challenge: Unlocking Secrets with Logic is the name of the mathematics competition in the Boundless Mathematics series, designed for students in P5, P6, and Secondary Level. All the games in this competition are very exciting and are crafted to stimulate multiple intelligences in students. There are four games that we will explore together, each designed to engage and enhance various intelligences such as logical-mathematical, spatial, naturalist, linguistic, and interpersonal skills. By participating in these activities, students will develop a deeper understanding of mathematics and its applications, making learning both fun and meaningful.
TINY VERSION
Knowledge
Number, Geometry, Measure, Data Handling, Problem Solving
Skill
Creativity, Critical Thinking
Multiple Intelligence
Spatial, logical-mathematical, linguistic
Overview
Participants will compete in pairs
Each pair is given the challenge to work on a project to make a model of a tool, building or any concrete objects that make sense if it is formed into a mini version
Participants observe objects and take precise measurements
Participants form scales by considering doable elements
Participants form 3D constructions according to the real objects they observe
Participants display mock-ups by including information labels
The winners will be decided by considering how suitable the mock-up is to the real object, and how powerful the information label is
MY CHARACTER
Knowledge
Geometry, Measure, Problem Solving
Skill
Critical Thinking, Creativity
Multiple Intelligence
Naturalist, logical-mathematical, dan linguistic
OVERVIEW
Children compete individually
Children are challenged to design a unique maths-character
The character must represent math symbols, shapes, or any element that relates to mathematics
The purpose of character creation is to provide visual appeal that makes the audience feel happy and curious about mathematics
Children are given two options, i.e. character creation with manual sketching models or by using computer software
Winners are determined from these two categories: manual and digital characters
The scoring will be based on the visual elements presented and how they fit into the maths world
TRAVEL ITINERARY
Knowledge
Number, Measure, Problem Solving, Data Handling
Skill
Critical Thinking, Creativity
Multiple Intelligence
Spatial, logical-mathematical, dan linguistic
Overview
An individual based competition.
Each participant is challenged to create travel itinerary for him/herself.
The itinerary covers participant’s travel plan, e.g. vacation, family visit, music concert, etc.
Each participant is given full authority to design the plan, starts from building up ideas to transferring to tangible form.
The design must follow these elements:
Idea creation: purposeful and meaningful
Design structure: information completeness and organization
