Index Card Challenge

 

Today’s Challenge: Using only an index card and scissors find a way to cut your index card so you can fit your entire body through it.

 

Teamwork Rubric Focus (Organization/Planning):

 

My goal for organization/planning today within my team is to not say that other plans are dumb, and I should try every plan. I also don’t want to make a mess so I don’t have to clean up later.

 

My Individual Plan My plan is to fold the paper then cut a zig-zag in it then unfold it and it will have a big hole.

 

Why I think my plan will be successful: I will be successful because when I will unfold it will be all connected in a big circle.

 

Our Group’s Plan Our plan is to fold the paper then cut a zig-zag in it then unfold it and it will have a big hole.

 

We chose this plan because when we unfold it there will be a big hole in it.

 

Possible challenges that may come up during construction are that it may not work or it may break.

 

Each team member will be responsible for cutting and making a plan.

 

After the Build

It didn’t work

 

Our design worked well because if we just made one more cut it would have worked

 

This activity was challenging because it was so hard to cut it in just the right way to have it correct,

 

This activity was comfortable because we had a supply of postcards for when we failed.

 

I met my teamwork organization/planning goal by letting my teammates share their goals.

 

A strength of my team was no one complained about much.

 

An area of growth for my team is we could  have had more grit and not get angry,

 

For our next challenge, my new teamwork organization/planning goal for myself is to do my teammates ideas too.
