Maths Symposium – 18/7/14
Keynote Speaker
Please can we have more maths – Robyn Averill
Ensuring maths is not a lofty mountain.
Persistance How can we help students want to continue with a task until it is achieved
Investigating number traps. Getting into reasoning and that deeper thinking. Starting to see the patterns – do you have to work through every number before you see the patterns?
Keeping a record of numbers used so you can see which ones you have already worked through.
Think of a number
No
Yes
Multiply by 3 and add 1
Halve it
Is it an odd number
Is it even
Escape
Is your number 1?
Fermi Problems are problems where it is really hard to know what the answer is.
How much toothpaste was used in NZ this morning?
They involve lots of different problems that you often have to estimate the answers
How many people are there
Take away the babies and people with no teeth
How much paste is on each brush
How much paste in each tube
Where do you find good, rich math tasks?
Nzmaths; nrich; colleagues; ukprimary resources; pd
Making opportunities for strong maths discourse – probability one thing that might happen tomorrow
How can we design material with patterns using translation? How will the design affect how we cut the pieces to make a shirt?
What transformations can we describe?
How many shapes can we see?
Perimeter how big are the squares?
What is it about a task that makes it open and what makes it a rich task?
Open – can be modified to more investigations
Lots of possibilities not one right answer
Engaging, meaningful, purposeful
Video clip Ben additive thinking
look at the tool on www.nzmaths.co.nz/MathsAspects/index.php
Pilot out T4 2014
Math/ Reading / Writing Available to all Term 1 2015
Ensure that this is used as a tool rather than as a test.
Good discussion on how we can track progress over the year for individual children.
Data will follow children through SMS number
Workshop Two: SAMR - Barbara Reid
What does SAMR mean and how do we apply it to maths learning?
Learning with Digital Technologies http://tiny.cc/lwdtmathsymposia
using a padlet tiny.cc/padlet whole class can participate on one document
Use video to work out a problem, put it on class blog then share it and invite feedback.
you tube: SAMR video explained by students 3.55 Rich Colosi
also clips with APP examples to use.
by publishing tasks on class blog then children will be more engaged as they know they have an audience
Capture the evidence of learning
Is it relevant
Be rewindable - we can go back sometimes several times
making math thinking visible with ipads - www.kathycasssidy.com
vln network group
Do we share our learning? blog, wiki, class website
manaiakalani.org google apps
our schools
look into ulearn rotorua
moe digital literacy
How can we collect, select, reflect and project maths evidence using digital technologies - Leigh Hines
Simon Sinek - TED Talk the three circles of assessment
on classroom wall super student / role model / ready to learn / make better choices / teachers choice / parent contact. chns names are beside the area they are at. this is a schoolwide display. it is in every classroom
linoit.com a padlet type of app that allows lots of people to put up ideas.
Kinds of evidence
- acheivement data results of assttle gloss pat etc
can all of the physical evidence be saved converted to digital evidence that can be saved in an e portfolio
yes, scan it, photgraph it, record it, video it.
things that can go into an eportfolio (click on a link in the powerpoint)
ways to get your artifacts into the cloud
Google apps 30 GB of storage for each GAF
Microsoft 365 (30GB for schools) having problems getting it to work properly
Evernote Free (unlimited storage 60mb upload limit per month)
Myportfolio (1GB storage per person) MOE funded until end of 2015
Some of the ways to move it
Use a wiki or google sites to showcase
instructions on how to make a google site (on powerpoint)
