Our Next Round
PROBLEM OF PRACTICE: Are our mathematics lessons worthwhile?
In what ways are maths skills and big ideas/concepts being connected in the lesson?
Are there opportunities for students to pose questions, solve problems, explain their thinking and use reasoning to justify their answers
Does the performance of understanding (task) provide opportunities for students to demonstrate and share their thinking and deepen their understanding?

Mathematical Reasoning
"In mathematics, adaptive reasoning is the glue that holds everything together, the lodestar that guides learning." Explore the importance of developing and assessing mathematical reasoning with Dr Kristen Tripet. Transcript below. Download here |
Mathematical Tasks
"A teacher must design tasks that are challenging for all students and then to make judgements about when to prompt and how much prompting is needed for different students." Explore how to plan for and introduce challenging tasks in the classroom with Professor Janette Bobis Transcript below. Download here |
