Index Card Challenge

Today’s Challenge: Using only an index card and a 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 be descriptive in my plan. 

 

My Individual Plan: 

 

My Individual Plan is to cut out the index card into the widest circle ever, and then make sure that it can go through my arms, legs, head, and around my whole body, and then put it on the ground, and then pull it up all the way to my head.

 

Why I think my plan will be successful: I think that my plan will be successful because before I try putting it around my body, I will make sure that it fits around my whole body separately. 

 

Our Group’s Plan: 

Our groups plan is to cut a hole in the index card, and then fit 1 of our heads through the index card and if the rest of the body doesn’t fit, then cut the hole bigger, so everything fits.

We chose this plan because We chose this plan because it’s a combination of both of our plans and we have a lot of testing in it. 

 

Possible challenges that may come up during construction 

 

Each team member will be responsible for…

 

After the Build: 

Here’s a picture of me inside of the index card (Well, not really an index card anymore).

Our design worked well because we made sure that it was wide enough to go around my whole body, and we tide it really tight at the end. 

 

This activity was challenging because at 1st, I had no idea how to do my plan, but luckily, around 30 seconds after we got the index card, and idea popped in my head, though I started it before I okay-ed it with my group, but then, around half way through I started doing it, my other group member also had an idea, and told me it, so then we just combined the idea’s and it ended up working.  

 

This activity was comfortable because I’m not sure about my other group member, but I had fun, and my group member and I didn’t argue, and we just agreed on basically everything. 

 

I met my teamwork organization/planning goal by being descriptive in my plan. 

 

A strength of my team was we worked fast, didn’t argue, and we helped each other when we needed help.  

 

An area of growth for my team is to make sure that we stay focused and on task. 

 

For our next challenge, my new teamwork organization/planning goal for myself is to make sure that I can do all of the stuff in my plan.
