Why Embed ICT in Maths? What advantages are there? It can… • ICT does can value to a lesson – but is the use of ICT adding value? • Save time • Visual modelling • Predicting • Testing hypotheses….when used appropriately • Demonstration • Data analysis • Resources which are already available for free – • NW network • ITPs • ICT lunch box for maths Hertfordshire County Council www.hertsdirect.org.uk
How has ICT been Linked to the Primary Framework? • Link to each block • Library • ICT lesson notes • ITPs uploaded through Flashfiles Hertfordshire County Council www.hertsdirect.org.uk
Aims To develop a series of IWB resources that support the use of investigations in the delivery of the Using and Applying strand of the new primary framework in unit of work. To enhance creativity and embed the use of ICT into a Unit of work. Hertfordshire County Council www.hertsdirect.org.uk
Rationale • Why Block C? • Identifies explicit ICT links • Learning objectives are mostly repeated in each unit (except Y6) • Lends itself to a creative approach. • Many ICT tools available • Cross curricular links to geography, ICT and science • Supports speaking and listening within the unit Hertfordshire County Council www.hertsdirect.org.uk
Learning mathematics involves… Doing mathematics Engaging in mathematical activity, developing processes and procedures, and a sense of the subject. Knowing mathematics Developing mathematical knowledge and understanding Using mathematics Seeing the potential of maths in the real world and within itself, and making use of it in this way. Nick Pratt, 2006.
Starting with a problem… the layered approach. • Child initiated learning • The big picture • Pupil questionnaire • Assessment
Active Learning…‘Children, like adults, will quickly become bored if they are not fully engaged in the learning activity.’Mike Hughes (2005)
Summary • Identified the direct and discrete ways in which ICT can support, promote and enhance maths. • Promoted the ICT/Maths project which is to support teachers in embedding using and applying in maths. Hertfordshire County Council www.hertsdirect.org.uk
