Short Refections on the PD. This was feedback that I provided for Honor.: It has been wonderful working alongside Honor and having her support me through my teaching of maths. I can see the importance of giving the children a voice, especially those that very rarely have that voice, or when the only voice being used is the teacher's ( yes I am guilty). By doing this they are building on their knowledge and understanding on mathematical concepts being taught. The use of talk moves is a great way of eliciting children's ideas as well as getting them to be active listeners and hearing the different methods of solving a problem. For my students who need extra support, it has given them more confidence when they are presented with a maths problem. Ideally we want these children to have a love of maths. This is a work in progress, one I am sure will have positive effects on all learners over time.
Looking at National Standards and what they would look like at each level has been very informing also. It has definitely helped me when making my overall OTJ.
