Years ago, I was teaching a group of first graders how to solve addition problems by taking jumps on number lines I had printed out and laminated for them. After a series of problems like 4 + 3 and 3 + 4, and 1 + 8 and 8 + 1, one of the kids said “Does that always happen?” “Does what always happen?” I said. “Do you always get to the same place when you switch the numbers?” “Try it,” I said, and they did. “It works for 7 + 3 and 3 + 7!” one said. “It works for 2 + 4 and 4 + 2!” another chimed in. “It works for 9 + 5 and 5 + 9!” This was the first day of adding, and these first graders had already discovered the commutative property of addition. But do we really need them to jump to this higher level concept so quickly? Yes. Here's why: Students need to see right away that math contains 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴, and that it's not just an assortment of disconnected facts to be learned. Pattern recognition is at the heart of mathematical learning, of course (or all learning for that matter), and discovering these particular patterns can be a big first step toward discovering that math is understandable. Students also need to see that math contains 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘴; if you know what 5 + 7 is, you know what 7 + 5 is too. There are 100 basic addition facts to learn - the commutative property “shortcut” for addition can cut that number almost in half. Student conclusion: “Maybe learning math will be easier than I thought!” They also need to see that math involves 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴. We have to 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘳 them toward these discoveries, of course (experiments must be specific and controlled to be useful), but that doesn’t make them any less real. Putting students in a position to discover something for themselves still results in them 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 - and discovering the thing for themselves can make all the difference. 𝘌𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 (memories of what we’ve experienced) can be far more powerful and longer-lasting than 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 (memories of facts). And students learn the facts with this strategy anyway! And the discoveries are fun! Math is understandable, filled with shortcuts, and loaded with discoveries - pretty good takeaways for the first day of adding!
Does anyone have a contact number for the Boolean Maths Hub? Number on website is too many numbers 🤔 #ncetm #booleanmathshub #mastery
@PastoralKaty My normally 100% daughter was attacked and bullied , attendance has slipped, now no trip. How is that fair 🙁
Long shot… a friend near Taunton has just lost a mare 18 hours after giving birth to a foal. So if anyone can help with a foster mare pls tweet me here… needs to be close and quick.. it’s a very sad little thing 😢
@DeputyGrocott @GarethBale11 Hello @RobBrydon, love you singing James Blunt songs 🎶
@Headteacherchat Look up CPS or read Lost in School. Identify specifically what difficulties/lagging skills they have and problem solve together. Sanctions won’t be helping.
@semh_teacher Hope you have a supportive team around you and opportunities for changes of face. I’ve recently read a book called Lost in School bt Dr Ross Greene … has transformed the way I think about explosive students.
@MrsHarrison13 @MrsSmanwar If it’s anything like my school your slt are probably struggling along too 😖
@TraceyHamer3 @MrGY62020 @DeputyGrocott @PaulGarvey4 Can I have more info about this please @TraceyHamer3 sounds like a fabulous idea!
@SENDit_impact At least 33, that’s before the interim ones rear their heads .
@MissMillsTA I’m feeling you Susan 😴
I’m a student again! Excited and nervous to be starting the SLT Apprenticeship programme with the NCE on Thursday 😬😊🫣🤔🎓 Looking forwards to getting stuck in. MSc here I come 🤞🏻😊#ourncejourney
@JoSoHappy83 @ADHDFoundation @PCamhs This has made me so angry. So pleased you are fighting her corner. Disgraceful treatment of a child with SEN.
