Day 3 Maths Practice Intensive
Session 2: Dorothy
3 click rule
Engagement.
Interesting for our young people - make them want to be there (but not too busy).
Nagivation - making sure it is all visible.
Capture the 'tricky' bits and make them rewindable so they can hit replay until they have got it.
Use these maths apps carefully.
Book mark them.
Kids should screen shot what they achieved.
Where does this screen shot go?
Maybe a slide deck? Or blog?
Check out some of these star teachers to see their planning.
See if some would be useful to use.
Session 3: Elena - Planning and timetabling
Nine key areas of teacher practice.
To make sure we get time to do everything we should integrate the maths learning.
Integrate different topics of maths.
Integrate maths into other areas.
Make sure we revisit previous learning. This can be done in the indepnedent leaning time. It is ok to go back and revise previous learning e.g. do a fraction activity 3 weeks after finishing the fraction unit.
Keep practising procedural fluency
Mapping tool.
How is maths integrated within maths.
How is maths integrated throughout the other areas - cross curricular.
Share these with Dave and Veronica.
Session 4: Grouping
I need to look at having groups and teaching groups. Use fixed groups at times and flexible groups at times. Mixed ability at times and groups depending on needs at times.
Session 5: Estimation - Maths talk
Estimation is a very important part of maths understanding.
One way to give more critical thinking to the kids - Giving an image - asking the children "What question can we ask?"
Use the slide deck for estimation maths talks planned by our group.
Session 6: Rich task
Good sites for rich tasks.
Remember to solve the problem yourself to see what students might do. Also be aware of misconceptions.
Session 7: What does a maths problem look like?
I want to use a rich task each week. Gather a whole lot of these together and share with our staff.
Session 8: Keeping track of students progress
I need to find a resource that is useful to keep track of students learning and what they need to learn next.
I want to find out more about the 'snapshots' that people are talking about.
Use FA more and keep track of the information that I am finding out.
Session 9: Pulling it all together.
Kia ora Petrina,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your reflections and key points you have taken out of the day.
Creating a database of good rich tasks is a good idea. There are lots of good sites and apps you can go to and I am sure some of your teachers will also have good ones they could share.
Thinking about and including in your planning the integration across strands and sub strands and cross curricular will make the connections for students and also save time in your teaching. The new plan sheets are great to get ideas. I am keen to hear how you are tracking your formative assessment. Thanks for your contribution and discussions in the MPI.
