We had our first CoL meeting of the year today at Panmure Bridge School.
As we move into the first year of implementing a Structured Maths programme (or two!) into Pt England School, I have been mindful of the Manaiakalani kaupapa of Learn-Create-Share. How can we continue to implement this when following structured learning progressions, and a predetermined scope and sequence - particularly when considering programmes like Pr1me Mathematics, which are presented in textbook after textbook formats.
The CREATE seems a particular challenge to me - requiring a creative teacher to provide students with their own opportunities to create.
So I am thinking of inquiring into my teaching practice with CREATE in mind.
On the 29th of January, our whole teaching staff had PD about the new Mathematics Curriculum in New Zealand. Something that resonated with me during this day, was the recurring language around the importance of Pattern Recognition.
Perhaps this can be a focus for CREATE tasks... and the direction for my Inquiry this year?
In the meantime testing week is coming up! I am very interested to see where my data leads me...
