Open day at Tamaki College

 It is Open Day at Tamaki College today.

Here are the highlights of the maths department.

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:
