The Business Office Of Mathematics Inwards The Pyp - Solar Daytime 1

In Nov I had the pleasance of learning from Tania Mansfield on the Role of Mathematics inwards the PYP.

She told us from the real laid about that, explicitly the things nosotros create inwards the workshop are things you lot tin purpose inwards your classroom.  The alive binder for illustration is where Tania shared all of the workshop documents. This seems to live similar to Edmodo but I prefer the Edmodo interface. One of the outset strategies nosotros were taught was to present fingers if nosotros needed to a greater extent than time. She also reminded us to say her if she is speaking likewise fast.

We introduced ourselves using Maths. Tania pointed out how the who nosotros are unit, is at the laid about of the year. We introduced ourselves using mathematics: favorite number, elevation & birthday. Other ideas were: I convey 3000 ruppeses inwards my wallet, impotent dates to me or I convey flown xxx miles.

The Blob Tree below was used decide prior noesis in addition to how nosotros were feeling.

Session 2 began alongside Tony Ryan’s Thinker Keys. The Reverse Key - Think of something inwards life that is non a Math problem? Everything is related to Math. How nosotros organize ourselves is a transdisciplinary subject that lends itself to Math. 

Wonder wall – What are nosotros wondering? It is for the children to query in addition to ask. Make certain you lot purpose it…

Wonder Wall

Lines of enquiry in addition to summatice assessment criteria given at the start. We wrote our essential agreements through the PYP attitudes. EAs should live few inwards number, refer to things done, live positive, observable & agreed past times everyone. We did a Think-Pair-Share 

Next nosotros did Living Graphs to represent: the score you lot teach, years pedagogy the pyp, stand upward nearest to the strand you lot prefer, when you lot were inwards schoolhouse how you lot felt at Math (3D). We also looked at Mathematical Glyphs - students brand their faces using shapes. Biography Glyphs - Parents convey to guess if no names are on there.

Next nosotros did a C.O.R.I. - Collect Organise Represent Interpret. This activeness had all v of the strands inwards it. We all had a sticker on our book. This determined who nosotros would locomote with. It was only about other strategy for mixing upward the class. There were ever lots of resources on paw in addition to nosotros had to create a 2 infinitesimal presentation at the end. Everything was stuck upward on the walls later on the presentation. We learned from each others locomote in addition to saw that our locomote was celebrated. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 CORI could live used for creating a rubric. Visual dictionaries, could live used to back upward EAL students. We demand to live certain whether nosotros are checking for math understanding or linguistic communication understanding. We played only about other  game alongside 2 coins called heads up. We had our hands on our heads or bottom spell Tanya tossed a coin.

For our lastly session nosotros were asked to come upward up alongside a Definition of a Math learner. We played a game called house value bingo in addition to therefore did only about reading. We did the iii Rs - Review, Remind, Reflect earlier going on to an activeness where nosotros were asked to guess a length of string. People used a release of dissimilar strategies to guess the length of string. The indicate was that nosotros all come upward into the activeness alongside prior knowledge. 

Reading RRR - Review, Remind, Reflect

The twenty-four sixty minutes catamenia wrapped upward alongside rocket writing - nosotros had to reverberate past times writing for iii mins. What a day!
