Another session full of information, knowledge, facts, ideas, discussion and resources that has enriched my mathematical mindset. Some terms that I was not familiar with or understood, and now I have a fair understanding of them now. An example, 'rational' is a term for fractions, decimals, and integers.
Ko ngā tau katoa e taea ana te tuhi hei hautau. Ka whai wāhi atu ki tēnei huinga tau ko ngā tau tōpū, ko ngā tau ā-ira, ko ngā tau ā-ira tāruarua, ko ngā hautau noa.
All of the numbers which can be written as a fraction. This includes integers, decimals, recurring decimals and ordinary fractions.
In my planning I will be going back to this session and using the resources and games to empower the learning especially with fractions and decimals as it is an area my studetns are not too confident with.
I will continue to share what the learning intentions and success criteria with my students and follow through with the lessons relating to the LIs and SCs. This week and next week works well as we are working on wāwāhi uara tū (place value) and todays lessons provided a lot more information and resources for place value.
We have been learning about adding using a place value. This term I have implemented drawing pictures and using resources before writing the in abstract form. This has been fun and doable. The students seem less afraid of maths equations when sharing their thoughts on paper or with rauemi.
In these particular pictures the students were working in shared ability groups using maths talk and group rules, and solving a few equations that was presented to the whole class. Everyone contributed and participated in the mahi. There was a few times the students seemed confused and/or nervous and I believe it was when I intervened and changed their own thoughts, thus I removed myself from the group learning. Auē, they were comfortable to carry on. This tells me I am trying to control their own learning instead of trusting the process.
