  1. Mathematics Leadership CommunityMatamata Principals and Lead Teachers Term 3 2013 Honor Ronowicz honorr@waikato.ac.nz

  2. Games • Star to Mars • More than less than • Bingo

  3. Reflection Share: • Moderation and using rich tasks to help . • Parent evenings What else is on top? Mid year data Targets?

  4. Today’s Agenda • Reflection and sharing • New Gloss-moderate. • Practice activities that can gather evidence for OTJ’s • Updates

  5. New Gloss • What's the same and what's different? • Additional information about Gloss. • Read the front page!

  6. PracticeGathering OTJ evidence without the worksheetWhat to do instead of worksheets?

  7. Why do we need to “Practice” • Reinforce and extend student learning. • Working independently and most of the time. (does not mean in isolation) • Problem solving and modeling situations

  8. From BES Mathematics/Pangarau(2007) Tasks that require students to engage in complex and non-algorithmic thinking promote exploration of connections across math's concepts Tasks which are open ended rather than procedural provide students with something they need to think about, not simply are disguised way of practicing already demonstrated algorithms.

  9. My Thoughts about Worksheets • Timing of these? • Children off task • Time fillers • Are just collecting knowledge • Where was the creative thinking? • The higher order thinking? • Where was the fun!

  10. Getting Set Up • Take time to introduce activities. • Set expectations. • Written recording • Presenting. • Resilience • Communication

  11. Written recording Maths playground Jens fish tank Illustrations from nzmaths Rugby scores Portfolio examples

  12. Task 1 • 3x27 • 15x12 • 9x998 • Find three different strategies to solve these problems • Which is the most efficient strategy.

  13. Task 2 20 Start with the answer Write 2 word problems to go with this? Does the question of your word problems promote the strategy we are practicing? If not do you need to change it? Try it on a friend?

  14. A known result 6x7 =42 • What other problems can you work out because you know this? • As per Task 2

  15. Look for good resources to help Open ended Maths activities. Value of a word If A=1 B=2 C=3 etc What are some words which are worth between 35 and 40 ?

  16. Making your own questions • Identify a topic Averages • Think of a closed question The children in our family are aged 3,8,9,10 and 15. what is their average age? • Make up a question There are 5 children in our family, their average age is 9. How old might the children be?

  17. For Stages 1-4 • Name cards • Own task boards • Place next to activity around the room • You are just looking for evidence of counting all or counting on

  18. Other ideas-Handout • Make a poster • Make a mobile • Big books • Debate • Role plays • Resources • Games and Puzzles

  19. A goal for you • Target a group • Focus on ensuring their practice activities are aligned with their learning needs. • Working well • Purposeful • Can explain what they are doing and why. • Have you collected evidence towards as OTJ?

  20. Updates • Jam • Applying for PLD in 2014 • Content workshops
