Planning a Maths Programme

Planning for maths has been available on etap for all the right things in terms of 'Achievement Objectives; Specific Learning Outcomes; Criteria Assessment'.  But the actuall planning is after you get to know the student (relationships), their needs and knowledge, and after assessment.  Gathering the data needed to plan what the students know and need support with.  Then there is the new learning to implement when the student is ready for the next steps.
Todays resources are very helpful for me to set more explicit and purposeful programme.  Giving the students the space to discuss and workout problems that are meaningful life problems. Understanding and letting the students be the brilliant confident mathematitions they can be.  Using the teacher workbook to follow through my teaching sequnce programme.
I plan on setting up the workbook for my maths programme and student needs and resources.  Continue having coaching conversations with my mentor and use the learnings from today for the planning.
Relook at my groups, and give them more choices during the maths session through task boards.
Deffinately plan rich tasks each week relating to the kaupapa and the learning.

  1. Kia ora Lucy, I love how you've captured the heart of it, and that real planning only happens once you truly know your learners. Your 'relationship-first' thinking shines through everything you've written! Your goal to build in rich tasks connected to the kaupapa each week is so exciting, and giving students more choice through task boards is going to make such a difference. Looking forward to seeing how you'll enrich your programme by integrating all the effective components we've unpacked over Days 1–3. Excited to hear your reflection on your practice implementation next Thursday!
    Ka mau te wehi!
