Numeracy Lesson - Wednesday 13th April 2016
Children silent reading.
Seated in various areas round the classroom.
Starter - Numeracy IXL - What is the greatest common factor?
- Talk to your partner
- Broken up into key words - what is a common factor? What is the greatest?
- Fold your arms once you've got it.
- Went through 4-5 questions.
What we are doing today in maths?
1 group - check in with pythagorus theorem
WALT: find the unknown length
WALT: set out our work correctly
Use of www.mathsisfun.com/pythagoras.html
Use of a Modelling book with questions prepared.
Formula
Add numbers
Multiply out
Rearrange and solve
- Pair up - children who are on track to show others in the group what to do.
- Children who are on track to pick out where someone has gone wrong - get the student who has gone wrong to report back to you what they have learnt.
- Stop the group and go over an area that needs work - model how to set out the working and go through the order - Revise the formula.
- Extend by rewriting the formula - Who has had a lightbulb moment? Do you understand why it is subtraction?
- Go through all together modelling the correct strategy and answer - What is my formula? Rearrange formula. Always making links back to how the work is set out.
- Copy this down if you did not get it.
- Have one more go on the next practice question - Set a time.
- Give extension - Does this triangle has a right angle? Prove it!
- Feedback - Show me using your fingers 1-5 whether you think you have got the pythagorus theorem?
Rest of class - working through a set question
- What items will you need to construct this?
- Refocus the whole class.
- Hands up if you have constructed number 6?
- Deliver extension task to whole class - Literacy.
Reflection
- Keep it simple - Know where you want the students to get to and get them to the the quickest way possible. Give an example/model and direct the students to get to this through questioning, pairing up, modelling and discussion.
- Keep your groups fluid - when teaching number groups can be more set but when teaching strand it is more beneficial to teach whole class and then work with target groups.
