Geometry and Measurement

This term our learning focus is on measurement, with my own emphasis on integrating the geometry strand, so that the strands are not taught in isolation.

What follows is part one and two of a teaching sequence with some evidence of learning conversations, classroom activities and learning tasks that show the learning process.

The videos also hopefully highlight activating learners as instructional resources for one another – where getting students involved with each other in discussions and working groups can help improve learning.

Sharing our Learning

We are learning to show our Maths Learning through talking

Three things I/we have learned from this:

1. I need to model aloud more how to talk about my/our learning - showing to others in small groups/class
2. I/we need to be more honest about our learning, That it's ok to admit to others that we found something difficult or challenging and that this helps our learning.
3. I/we need more practise learning/teaching new things, to take our time and do things in more depth.
