As a team almost the entire teaching staff at Matarau came alone to this conference help at Forum North instead of our Staff Meeting. Well worth the change Scotty!
DT in maths- vanitha govini
Bits and pieces I picked up:
AUTHENTIC REAL LIFE EXAMPLES to enhance children's engagement and retention
Patterns-using real life examples to hook kids in
Trade me- motivator a shared lunch.. Students learning how to do percentages, profits, effective communication
VLN- virtual learning network (Great to know what this means)
http://www.vln.school.nz/groups/profile/799306/e-learning-in-primary-mathematics please register
Great opportunity to collaborate with other teachers. I can pose questions about independent activities for example
Go into group discussion
Posing a question to the class, allowing them to go away and think about it, then coming back the next day to see where they are at and to discuss in general
