It was great to work with Dianne Ogle again. She will be working with us for the next few years on helping us to re-define our maths practices, especially with the use of Mixed ability grouping and establishing a program to reflect current research around enhancing achievement in Mathematics (especially with our minority groups). Lots of challenges lie ahead. Looking forward to our next session with her, and having her both teach in our classrooms, and observe us in our classes.
Key take aways:
- Working in groups of 3
- 1 task that suits all
- Discussion and group work is key
- Clarifying and Extending thinking
Key Challenge between now and her next visit.
- Get children use to the idea of working together, and set clear expectations on what this should look like, feel like, and sound like.
- GETTING OUR HEAD AROUND A NEW STYLE OF PLANNING!
