- Goal: Enhance the students' ability to convert numbers between the decimal and Roman systems while also building communication and teamwork skills.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students create a video styled like a 'digital influencer' explaining how to convert decimal numbers to Roman numerals and back. These videos will be shared on an imaginary social media platform in our class.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should investigate how to convert between decimal numbers and Roman numerals.

• Draft a script for a video, lasting up to 5 minutes, detailing the conversion process.

• Use their phones to record the video, adding in creative elements like animations, demonstrations, and challenges.

• Post the video on a fictitious social media platform created in Google Classroom or another collaborative tool.

• Watch other groups' videos and leave constructive comments.

Activity 2 - 🔍 Numerical Treasure Hunt 🗺️

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Apply knowledge of converting between numerical systems in a problem-solving context, while encouraging teamwork and research.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students engage in a digital treasure hunt, with each clue presented in Roman numerals. Correct responses lead to new clues, with a prize waiting at the end.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group gets the first clue, written in Roman numerals.

• They'll convert the clue into the decimal system and search for the correct answer online or using provided materials.

• A correct answer leads to another clue, also in Roman numerals.

• Continue this process until the group uncovers the final 'treasure'.

• Reflect on the activity and discuss the strategies used.

Activity 3 - 📺 Math Game Show 🎉

- Deskripsi Activity: Learners take part in a game show that challenges them with questions and tasks related to Roman numerals. The competition takes place in a fun, gamified environment using online quiz platforms.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should choose a name and create a digital avatar.

• Use an online quiz platform (like Kahoot! or Quizizz) to devise a game with questions about converting between decimal and Roman systems.

• Groups compete by answering questions in real-time and earning points.

• The winning group receives a symbolic prize, like a digital certificate or extra points in Google Classroom.

• Discuss the questions and answers after the game, reinforcing learned concepts.

Feedback

Duration: 15 - 20 minutes

🎯 Purpose: The goal of this stage is to consolidate students' learning, allowing them to reflect on their experiences, share their findings, and provide feedback to one another. This reinforces the concepts learned, encourages self-assessment, and promotes collaborative learning, preparing students for future active learning activities.

Group Discussion

🎤 Group Discussion: Facilitate a group talk with all students, where groups share what they’ve learned from the activities and their conclusions. Use the following script to kickstart the discussion:

Introduction: 'Let’s have a chat about the experiences we had during our activities on Roman numerals. Every group, please share what you discovered and the conclusions you made.' Sharing: Invite each group to present their findings and observations. Debate: Encourage a discussion around the similarities and differences between the methods and conclusions of each group.

Reflections

1. 🤔 Reflection Questions:

What was your experience like converting between the decimal and Roman systems? What were the main challenges, and how did you tackle them? 2. How did working together in groups help you understand Roman numerals better? 3. Can you think of everyday situations where knowing about Roman numerals would come in handy?

Feedback 360º

🗣️ 360° Feedback: Have students conduct a 360° feedback session where each student gets constructive feedback from their peers in the group. Guide them to focus on these areas:

Strengths: 'What did you think your classmate excelled at during the activity?' Areas for Improvement: 'What could your classmate work on for next time?' Thank You: 'Thank your teammate for something specific they did that supported the group.'

Make sure that the feedback is constructive and respectful, fostering an environment of collaboration and support.
