As well as understanding the Learning Cycle it is important to be aware of:

• what is in the curriculum

• the language used to describe increasing levels of difficulty

• how it should be taught 

• how students will be supported, including building confidence, scaffolding and the use of explicit language

• what resources might be used.

Research shows that when you make Maths fun, remove time anxiety and provide opportunities for group work, maths learning is increased.

Review some of the sites below which provide quality Maths activities for students. The author/s are named for each.

Working with children with additional needs:

• http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/diversity-in-learning/special-education/adjustments 

Read and then list some of the strategies suggested to support students with additional needs.

Read these slides on scaffolding as well (or open below) or revisit the slides (below on the right) on differentiation.
