SOME RUSSIAN MULTIPLICATION?

I'm learning a lot too! I never thought there could be such a nice way of multiplying. If you click on the picture you will see a large view of the image, with very clear instructions on how to do russian multiplication. We will do some more of http://www.hunkinsexperiments.com/ experiments. They look great.

WHAT'S THE UNIVERSE LIKE?

Here you have an overview of the main concepts we are going to be learning during this unit. You also have a link to other pages where you can learn more. Find the video, it's quite interesting!

RUSSIAN MULTIPLICATION

It is definetely a delight to see how much we can get from TeacherTube! This is a video that explains how Russian peasants used to multiply (and apparently some still do). You don't need to understand the whole video but simply understand the mechanics of the multiplication. You could find helpful to know the meaning of "even number (2, 4,...)", as opposed to "odd number (3, 5,...)". Try it out for yourself. Have fun.

WHAT IS CLIL

The teacher speaks less... the students participate more. Message is what is important. Can you do the exercise? Then go ahead! You don't need to understand every single word the teacher, or class mates, or people in the video, say.

CLIL: WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

Using CLIL in English learning is not only translating from Spanish toEnglish. It is more than that (and maybe the opposite). We learn English as we change our way of seeing learning. When you are learning Science, the most important thing is that you understand how life is created. To do that you have to read, speak, listen, write, interact with classmates and teachers... You have to understand and communicate. Errors are not important. The Message is what is important. With time, we will also correct our own mistakes.
