My Inquiry question 9

 

Term3 reflection

 My class, 10PDv - My learners have completed the Numeracy exam with 100% attendance (15 out of 15 students present), and we are currently awaiting the results. During this period, we also completed the Statistics and Probability units, and have now started Algebra, which we plan to complete during Term 4. The learners’ overall progress during Term 3 was very good, and the Vital sheet is attached for reference.

Here is the student voice: My learners did well in the Numeracy exam and awaiting for the results.

My Inquiry question - 8

 

My learners are nearing the examinations(Year 10 week 8 & Year 11 week 9), and the time has come to aim for the prize. 

This is all about the transition from teacher authority to student authority. 

My tweaks are study classes, a smart study plan using Workspace, Annotated exemplars, Video lessons, and focusing on Form, use, and explain questions to identify learners' weaknesses.

Here is the detail of my intervention:

Term 3 Plan for my own class and Focus group

 My own class: During term 3, the focus is on Statistics and preparing for CAA September exam.

Here is the plan for Term 1: Statistics/CAA exam

Here is the plan for Term 1: Geometry/ Trigonometry:

• Vocab and Comprehension -Vocab is introduced in every lesson..

• 10 to 15 minutes Do Now 10 to 15 Minutes Statistics.

• PEE structure framework.

• Workspace for Statistics and Numeracy.

• Video Lessons- Cobbett Maths and Numeracy videos.

• Tuesday after-school classes- working on Numeracy practice tests provides extra support.

• Topic test by the end of the test- ensures readiness for the next step.

• Numeracy homework on Education is perfect for Personalised learning- tailored for each student's levels and needs,

• Weekly conversation with Whānau/Well-being checks in schools, strengthening school-home connections.

• Collaboration with Social Studies and Science with Do Nows to reinforce Numeracy in the real world.

• Numeracy's past paper questions are on the NZQA website and in the Numeracy practice book.

• Weeks 4 to 8: Numeracy Intensive to prepare for the September exam.

• Numeracy questions are separated by Form, solve, and explain examples to apply differentiated teaching.

My Focus: My focus with Do Nows for term3 and but for technology, is continued from Term1

Do Nows, as this subject is optional.

Term3 Plan for CAA(US32406)

  There are two CAAs in a year. One in May and the other in September. This term, our focus is on the September exam, as the learners have completed the first round. The second round will include year 11s who missed the first round, year 10s, and one group of year 9 students ( more than PAT 5). Due to the number of students, our school has decided to conduct activities over Week 8 and Week 9. 

Year 9 and Year 10 will participate in Week 8, while Year 11 will participate in Week 9.

Resources and support: I have been supporting all teachers(cross-curricular support) by providing weekly numeracy starters( Do nows) activities along with a ViTal sheet( tracking sheet) to track progress. These allow teachers to begin lessons with an engaging numeracy problem. This week, resources will be provided for only 7 weeks as the exam will start in week 8. Link
