WS 3D: Co-teaching and an Integrated Curriculum
Lagoon Room
Bijendra Prasad, Lynfield College
In this session I will be sharing my experience working in a modern learning environment, integrated teaching of Mathematics with another curriculum area. I will share how assessments from another curriculum area align with mathematics and enable students to more deeply engage in learning mathematics. I will also be share how students achieved numeracy and NCEA was assessed.
WS 3E: Problem Solving the MathsCraft way
Terrace Room
Marion Steel, Epsom Girls Grammar School
MathsCraft problem solving is about showing students that maths isn’t just about getting a right answer. It’s about exploring, noticing, understanding, and knowing that there’s always another question to ask.
During this workshop you will work through a mathematical problem that is accessible to students of all ages. You will see how to take this approach back to the classroom so you can experience the joy of exploring a problem, not necessarily getting an answer with your students.
