BARTER PUZZLE

            In every PPD session we make new different activities and learn new things.In 4 July, Madam came with new activity BARTER PUZZLE. First madam divide our class in to four groups. Then, select a leader, sub leader  from each group and she call leader and sub leader. Madam gave a task to them, that they have to cut a A3 size picture in to 75 pieces, in   this pieces include 10 square pieces and others can get any design . Our team leader and sub  leader made that task successfully.

          Then madam give next task that is we have to arrange the cutting papers like a barter puzzle [these cutting papers are not what we are cutting, it was from other groups].There is strategy also, madam mixed some 5/6 cuttings from other group.

            The goal is to complete their puzzle before the other groups, they must come up with their method on convincing the other teams to relinquish the pieces they need, whether  through barter, exchange of team members, donating time to another team, a merge etc.  Whatever they choose to do,  they must do it as a group.

   PURPOSE:

        This exercise is time consuming, but it accomplished creative team work on several level. As a team, they must find a way to convince the other teams to help them. In the other  words, they must solve both the puzzle and the problem of getting their pieces again. 

   Finally:

        We cannot finished the puzzle, but we was second group, that finished than other  groups. Because, we only left 3 pieces and we had extra 3 pieces of other groups puzzles.
