Outline for Term 1 & 2

Building the skills of Mathematising-Problem posing/solving - Possible Process

Term 1
Pre-assess students' current mathematising skills in both formal and informal contexts


Term 2
Week 1 - In groups of 2-3 students (armed with cameras) capture 2 photos each that can stimulate discussions around 'where is the maths in this situation/setting'. i.e. verandah, schoolbags, cafe, cars, play equipment - Print or have access to these for next session. 


Week 2 - 24th April - Kelli to lead . Explicit teaching of mathematising explore How to create a mathematical problem - . Students (by self or with partner) formulate problems around the pictures captured. Teachers scribe where necessary. 

Week 3 - Students (by self or with partner) formulate problems around the pictures captured - challenge can we have more than one type of problem for that situation. Teachers scribe where necessary. 


Week 4 - 8th May - Kelli to lead - Analyse the student formed problems - operation, language used, novel, multistep, who might have this problem, what computational strategy might be effective to help solve? what problem solving strategy might be most effective?


Week 5 - Solving own and other's problems 


Week 6 - Solving own and other's problems 


Week 7 - Sharing solving 


Week 8 - June 5th - Kelli to lead.Analysing formulation of problems - what if.... reformulate problems to be multistep, novel, add flexibility


Week 9 - Share/ publish problems for other classes to access and respond to (solve)


Week 10 - Post-assessment - students current mathematising skills assessed - formal and informal contexts


Week 11 - Feedback and set a goal for Term 3
