• Read the front page!

Practice
Gathering OTJ evidence without the worksheet
What to do instead of worksheets?
www.tetoitupu.org
Why do we need to “Practice”
– Reinforce and extend student learning.– Working independently and most of the time.
(does not mean in isolation)– Problem solving and modeling situations
www.tetoitupu.org
From BES Mathematics/Pangarau(2007)
Tasks that require students to engage in complex and non-algorithmic thinking promote exploration of connections across math's conceptsTasks which are open ended rather than procedural provide students with something they need to think about, not simply are disguised way of practicing already demonstrated algorithms.

My Thoughts about Worksheets• Timing of these?• Children off task• Time fillers• Are just collecting knowledge • Where was the creative thinking?• The higher order thinking?• Where was the fun!

Getting Set Up
• Take time to introduce activities.• Set expectations.
– Written recording– Presenting.– Resilience– Communication

Task 1• 3x27
• 15x12
• 9x998
• Find three different strategies to solve these problems• Which is the most efficient strategy.
www.tetoitupu.org
Task 2 Start with the answer
Write 2 word problems to go with this?
Does the question of your word problems promote the strategy we are practicing?
If not do you need to change it?
Try it on a friend?

A known result
6x7 =42
• What other problems can you work out because you know this?
• As per Task 2
www.tetoitupu.org
Look for good resources to help
Open ended Maths activities.
Value of a word If A=1 B=2 C=3 etcWhat are some words which are worth between 35
and 40 ?
www.tetoitupu.org
Making your own questions• Identify a topic Averages• Think of a closed question The children in our family are aged 3,8,9,10 and 15.
what is their average age?• Make up a questionThere are 5 children in our family, their average age is
9. How old might the children be?

For Stages 1-4
• Name cards• Own task boards• Place next to activity around the room• You are just looking for evidence of counting all or
counting on
www.tetoitupu.org
Other ideas-Handout
• Make a poster• Make a mobile• Big books• Debate• Role plays• Resources
• Games and Puzzles

A goal for you• Target a group • Focus on ensuring their practice activities are
aligned with their learning needs.• Working well• Purposeful• Can explain what they are doing and why.• Have you collected evidence towards as OTJ?
