Find different ways of doing it. 10 Why is the sum of 2 odd numbers always even? 11 I can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division when solving problems, making best use of the mental strategies and written skills I have developed. MNU 103C If 7x6 = 42, what else can we work out? The answer is 32. What is the question?

  9. Updating the Curriculum • • introducing algebraic thinking at an earlier stage • • more emphasis on interpreting statistical information in the world around us • • stronger emphasis on the important part mathematics has played, and will continue to play, in the advancement of society • the relevance of mathematics in daily life.

  10. Learning and Teaching • planned active learning with opportunities to observe, explore, investigate, experiment and play • • development of problem-solving capabilities • • development of mathematical thinking skills • • use of relevant contexts, familiar to young people’s experiences

  11. appropriate, effective use of technology • • building on the principles of Assessment is for Learning • • collaborative and independent learning • • making links across the curriculum • • increased opportunities for discussion, communication and explanation of thinking.

  12. Why do teachers ask pupils questions? Questions are for thinking and discussion. They are not just about right and wrong answers. 9 10 11 Which of these numbers is the odd one out and why?

  13. Using the outcomes • To reflect on and adapt current practice: • Do more of • Do less of • Stop doing • Start doing

  14. Using the outcomes • To try out See examples of suggested activities related to the outcomes on Excel files at: http://western-isles-acfe.wikispaces.com/Maths_Numeracy+Network+Group Please contribute your own ideas and help populate the files.
