Day 2 MPI - Know your learners at Mathematicians

What did I learn that increased my understanding of the kaupapa and pedagogy of the Manaiakalani Maths Programme ?
What did I learn that could improve my capability and confidence in teaching reading?
What did I learn that could be used with my learners? 
What did I learn that could be shared within my wider community, with either colleagues, or whānau/aiga?

Session 3: What makes a confident teacher.

This slide was really good!


A good reminder about how tamariki need baseline knowledge to learn new things. They build on what they know. If you try to push them before they have a good understanding they have nothing to hang new learning on. 

5: Assessment 101
I like this slide - It says that tamariki should develop a range of learning strategies that they can use so that when the first does not work, they have alternatives. 

5: Assessment Data and planning
Unpack the PAT next week after doing the PAT testing.
I need to gather data and keep it in an orderly way so that it is more easily used to inform teaching and see progress. Use this achievement data to show their next learning steps.

6: Teacher workbook
Use this to explore the Teaching sequences

7: Assessment Data and planning
Make sure I have Learning intentions that come from the curriculum.
Make sure the Success Criteria is clear and not related to the context!
Sometimes get the tamariki to develop the SC with you.


8: Maths talks - Quick images/subitising

Video - Jo Bolar showing how to teach and use subitizing.

I want to check out these amazing resources!

  1. Kia ora Petrina,
    Thanks for sharing your reflections on Day 2. Some of this is not new to you, a lot of this is from when you did MPI back in the day. It is good to see we are not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
    It will be good to see how your children go with the PAT next week.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you next session on what you have used out of the resources and what was successful.
    Feel free to share these with your work colleagues.
    If you have any questions please email, ring or text me. See you on Day 3.
    Donna
