What Am I Hoping To Achieve...

Success Criteria: What will I see to know the target has been achieved?

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding to a variety of different conceptual questions based on number sense.

Children being able to explain how they solved questions using maths language and concepts.

Draw pictures to show different representations of concepts.

Ability to answer challenge questions that require deeper thinking.

Strategies/Approaches to achieve goal:

Planning of more tasks that develop concepts rather than just procedures – using Mastery of Maths – Maths Hub example questions. Using a challenge question near the end of the task – something that has not been taught, but relates to the concept and involves deeper thinking.

Getting children to represent their understanding in different ways.

Questioning – what does multiplication look like? What strategy would you use to solve this? Why is this the best strategy? Why does your solution make sense to you?

Manipulatives to use as an aid to deepen understanding/Use of bar model.

Develop own understanding through self initiated research– blogs etc, and attending PD course. Complete the self-evaluation tools on NCTEM site. 

EVIDENCE:

Summative assessments – reasoning paper from maths hub. 

Exemplars of children's work on this blog. 

Blog updates about lessons.

Video evidence of discussions and tasks. 

MALT test in Term 3 – should have increased percentage of questions correct.
