DMIC staff meeting with Trevor Bills (Massey University)
2 September 2019
Trevor reinforced things that, in my eyes, complemented the Numeracy Programme.
Looked at length of lesson and process. Really pleased that seniors do one hour!
Went over Talk Moves: What a teacher does/Benefit of the Move/Might Sound Like
- Revoicing, Repeating, Reasoning, Adding On, Waiting (turn & talk).
Teachers went through the Communication and Participation Framework (Roberta Hunter): Teacher actions to engage students in mathematical practices.
- Developing conceptual explanations including using the problem context to mak explanation experientially real
- Active listening and questioning for sense-making of a mathematical explanation.
Do you need to ask a question? No, so can you explain the process? No, then you have a question.
I don't have a question but what questions could I ask? Who else was thinking that way?
- Collaborative support and responsibility for the reasoning of all group members: use core Pasifika values
- Developing justification and mathematical argument
- Developing representing as part of exploring and making connections - communication and justification
- Developing the use of mathematical language
- Developing generalisation: representing a mathematical relationship in more general terms. Looking for rules and relationships. Connecting, extending, reconciling.
