Learning Intention/Success Criteria
|
- Fans –reading numbers in place value
with place value cards to separate numbers.
- Practice cards for experts.
- Bead frames to practice skip
counting.
-
Appraiser’s Comments: (focus on student
outcomes)
- Revisited how we can help each other
with mats- reiterated the class agreement about how they work
together. ‘Steals you thinking’- listening to others.
- Often asked do you agree? How do you
know- think/talk moves
- Removed distracting influence to teach
1 to 1 with those needing support.
- Good feedback given on ideas presented
to the group e.g. Izzy- that was a great way of working that
out- you did…. (Paraphrasing)
- You have a lovely nature with the
children. You use humour and connect to the children well. You
are also able to curtail the over exuberant ones and keep them
on their learning journey.
- Children felt comfortable to explain
their thinking and were fully involved in the learning
activities.
- A variety of equipment used and
Future Actions / Goals:
The kids were
great. Lovely to teach with a group of 4 with no other distractions.
Perhaps as an
action to keep Izzy contained is to make her lead some of the group
activities.
After working
with the 2 less capable- make sure you have some extension time with
the 2 capable ones. The former 2 could practice independently.
Good work Nic.
You are a pleasure to watch
teach . It is evident you have the children’s learning at heart. And
so much Maths knowledge!!
