Educator Only Day
A Mathematical Journey- Heath McNeil
Mark H. Ashcraft defines Maths anxiety as ‘a feeling of tension, apprehension, or fear that interferes with math performance” (2002, p.1)
Why?
Mindset
Challenge to take risk
Find a strategy to solve
Get the answer
Use recipes
Directions to prepare
Follow recipes
Maths should be like
Need curiosity
Being capable
We should be connected and
We should work collaboratively
Inspire people and get engaged because it’s everywhere.
Maths adventures by Ian Stevens
We learn by doing...Aristotle
Something to try
Something to think
Something to modify based on my own understanding
Why maths is important?
It’s everywhere and everything
Work out the time for our life
Budgeting
Teaching a way of thinking,organising a way of solving problems
Are the learners thinking the way it supposed to be
We should make the learners to be confident, connected, actively involved and lifelong learners
Maths is all about making sense of the world
Think??? How am i teaching? Did i make the learners being connected, confident and actively involved??/
Are the learners inclined to use mathematics effectively at home, at work and in the community.
I see it
I get it
I can explain to others
Facial expression to challenge the learners to think it through
Types of problems
Group work
Problem-solving strategies
Problems learners have with problems
Teaching problem solving
Introduction is an important part or unpacking
Group work is ideal
The catapult challenge on Friday
The ramp challenge
Shared understanding what problem solving
Give opportunity for the learners to struggle
Don't afraid to give activities for the learners to struggle
Push the learners hard,
Give them the next level, they might try
Make sure you stand by them and support them but encourage them to try, not to do it for them
Encourage learners to make their own bump game
Learners to learn self-management
Learners are having issues with 10+, use the bump game which helps them to understand better.
Vowel $150 $199
Consonant $50 $99
S 50
U 150
D 50
H 50
A 150
Make a word
Find the value
Find an expensive word
Find the cheapest place in the world
Learners will be challenged to round up the number, find the place value
Next Step
I would like to challenge the learners with more challenging problem-solving maths so that it will be interesting for the learners to unpack it. I always wondered how do I introduce dice with our learners, but today I understood I could do lots of different problems solving to challenge our learners. I will ask the learners to throw the dice and find the before and after numbers. They could match the ten frames with the number.
