Vaucluse PS 2023
PROBLEM OF PRACTICE: Are we supporting our students to think mathematically? The resources for this round highlight the importance of the task for mathematical learning. The pre-reading was a short extract from "Visible Learning in Mathematics" by Hattie et al. The presentation continued the focus on the working mathematically processes of problem solving and reasoning. |
Strathfield North PS 2023
PROBLEM OF PRACTICE: What are the qualities of rich mathematical tasks? This round highlighted the place of productive struggle in mathematical leaning and linked this to the Launch - Explore - Summarise model. Readings by Mariane Pasquale, James Russo and Peter Sullivan deepened the network's understanding about the role of challenge in rich mathematical experience. |
