PYP PE: Maths Integration and the Circulatory System (grade 3)

9/4/2011

5 Comments

 
The grade 3 class is currently doing a unit on Body Systems. To support this Unit of Inquiry happening in the classroom, we have been looking at three body systems; the circulatory, respiratory, and muscular systems. In PE class, there is great opportunity to work on maths integration through the recording and collecting of data related to heart rate at various intensities of exercise. A couple of weeks ago, I had the kids learn how to take their own pulse and record beats per minute on a record sheet that I gave them at the start of the class. Not only did they have to record their own heart rates, but collect data from their friends and record this as well. The record sheets were then given to the classroom teacher who worked on graphing/interpreting the students' results. It was a very successful integration that was genuine and authentic. Please see slide show below of some examples of the student work. You will first see each student's record sheet followed by their graph. You will notice that we also included pictures of the students in action to enhance the appearance of the graphs.

Dear Mr Vasily,

Thanks for sharing this URL and ideas with us. I use your website to inspire my PE teacher to see visual examples of how we can integrate the unit of inquiry with PE and Maths.
Thanks again.

I love this idea. Do you have the handouts on file? Can you email me them so I can print them out? Also, how did you have the students find their heart rate? Currently, I have them take a 6 second count and add a zero onto the end of it. Thanks!
Jackie

Great inclusion idea - Can I have an email copy of your handouts, if you have any? I too wondered how you had your students find their heartrates. Thanks, Vanessa
