Term3 Plan

Here is the year planner. This term my main focus is preparing for external. Those who will be sitting 

for external have completed their internal, rest of them will continue with their internals. 

This term I have divided them into two groups. The first group is sitting for external, the second group is working on internal. 1.2 Algebra external exam will be on September 13th and 1.3 Tables and graphs 

and 1.6 Geometrical reasoning will be on November 10th.

 External learners:

1.2 Algebra As 91027(1.2) (4 credits, External):

Applying SOLO taxonomy, to work on Achievement/Merit/Excellence. Chunk, Check, Chew strategy Workspace for rewindable learning. Using Google calendar to set lessons and video the lesson for rewinding purposes. Extra classes to support the learners who missed lesson due to COVID distractions. Peer teaching, making flash cards and wellbeing check. Weekly monitoring to track progress. . Weekly student voice and conversation with Whanau.

1.2 Algebra As 91028(1.3) (4 credits, External):

Applying SOLO taxonomy, to work on Achievement/Merit/Excellence. Chunk, Check, Chew strategy Workspace for rewindable learning. Using Google calendar to set lessons and video the lesson for rewinding purposes. Extra classes to support the learners who missed lesson due to COVID distractions. Peer teaching, making flash cards and wellbeing check. Weekly monitoring to track progress. . Weekly student voice and conversation with Whanau.

1.6 Geometrical Reasoning  As91031 (4 credits, External) CTD

Internal learners, working on Number workspace, 1.4 Linear graphs workspace and

Trigonometry workspace.

Weekly monitoring sheet

My Inquiry question 4

Question4/1:

Most of my learners have completed all (four) internal assessments and the rest are still working on internals. Here is a link to the student voice/perspectives.  

Question4/2:

Qualitative data: I had many conversations with students while I was teaching and holding study classes. I also gained feedback on their wellbeing using google forms and monitored learning progress through Do Now activities. I found there has been a large shift in terms of attitude and students have now started to take ownership of their own achievement. It was reassuring as I also had a good turn out during the winter holiday break study classes (first week of the holidays). 

Quantitative data: Here is the Link.

Question4/3: 

This class is a multilevel class of 28 students, some of which are sitting externals and some of which are only sitting internals. Now, my challenge is to motivate students for the three externals during examination period and ensure that they retain knowledge. I will also need to make sure the learners who are not sitting the externals are on track to achieve their numeracy credits. 

End of term reflection

 My learners have been working with 1.4 Linear Algebra, eighteen of them completed their last internal and rest of them agreed to come during the holiday break to complete. My learners found it useful with keywords  using google jam-board to understand the contextual base questions. Tweak: I continued catching up with after school this week too.

There are 4 internals and 3 externals in this course.Most of my learners have completed their last internal this week and we are going to start external prep next term.One of the external real exam(MCAT-1.2 Algebra) exam will be next term and rest of them will be on Term4. I discussed with my learners with dates and external contents. The external topics are 1.6 Geometrical reasoning, 1.3 tables and graphs and 1.2 Algebra(MCAT).  There are four different  level of learners  in this class, first group will going for 3 external, second group will be going for 2 external , third group will be going for one external and fourth will be focussing on internals only. My challenge is how to cater for every 28 learners in this class. 

Credits update

Credits remains the same as last week as the last internals is under marking. Here is the feedback from my learners.

 

1.4 linear Algebra CTD

 My learners  started their practice test and my tweak(catching up with the leaners after school) worked well last week. Here is the updated results. Now 21 leaners have gained their Numeracy. Also 1.6 geometrical reasoning practice continued after school practice very eagerly too.
