Ways of Working
Everything said here today is a conjecture It is uttered so it can be thought about and
modified if necessary What you get from this session will mostly be
what you notice happening inside you … how you use your mathematical powers.

Responsive Teaching
Responding to student’s needs– Class as a whole– Particular students
Listening to Students Giving them time
– to think,– to experiment – to conjecture
Supporting them to– Modify their conjecture
Trying not to do for students what they can alredy do for themselves

Reflective Teaching
Learning from experience What could have been different?Should –>
Could
Do this at the end of a
lessonwhile students are making a note of
what they thought the lesson was
about!
Imagining yourself in the future,acting in some way that you would preferinstead of some habit that has developed
Making a note at the end of the lessonof ONE thing that struck you, that stood out, about the lesson

Responsible Teaching
Able to justify choices of– Intentions (mathematical)– Tasks– Interventions– Pedagogic strategies
Requires the development of a vocabularyfor talking about pedagogic intentions andchoices!

Set Ratios In how many different ways can you place 17
objects so that there are equal numbers of objects in each of two sets?
What about requiring that there be twice as many in the left set as in the right set?
What about requiring that the ratio of the numbers in the left set to the right set is 3 : 2?
What is the largest number of objects that CANNOT be placed in the two sets in any way so that the ratio is 5 : 2?
What can be varied?

Reflection & Justification (Mathematical)
Powers used?– Imagining and Expressing; Specialising &
Generalising; Conjecturing & Convincing;– Being Systematic– Making records
Themes Encountered– Seeking Relationships– Invariance in the midst of change– Freedom & Constraint– Doing & Undoing
![Page 8: 1 Responsive, Reflective & Responsible teaching John Mason AIMSSEC ACE Yr 2 Jan 2013 The Open University Maths Dept University of Oxford Dept of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f345503460f94c50c12/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Reflection & Justification (Task Format)
Why 17 objects to be placed?– What follow-up was missing?– What about 18? (opportunity for ‘same and
different’) Confusion between ‘left set’ and ‘left part of
diagram’!!! Something available if some finish first part
quickly How was work sustained? How was work brought to a conclusion?
– Conjectures?– Something not fully resolved?– Opportunity to reflect back over the event?

Issues Arising
Choice of numbers Choice of wording Choice of setting:
– actual objects; drawings; symbols
![Page 10: 1 Responsive, Reflective & Responsible teaching John Mason AIMSSEC ACE Yr 2 Jan 2013 The Open University Maths Dept University of Oxford Dept of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f345503460f94c50c12/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

31: a game for two players
At each move the player chooses a whole number of cubes from 1 to 5 and adds them to a common pile.
The first person to get the total number of cubes in the common pile to be 31, wins.
What is your (best) strategy?

Reflection & Justification (Mathematical)
Topic– Adding; choosing and predicting– Reasoning backwards from 31
Powers used?– Imagining and Expressing; Specialising &
Generalising; Conjecturing & Convincing;– Being Systematic– Making records
Themes Encountered– Seeking Relationships– Invariance in the midst of change– Freedom & Constraint– Doing & Undoing

Reflection & Justification (Task Format)
Did you use cubes? Confusion??? How was work sustained? How was work brought to a conclusion?
– Conjectures?– Something not fully resolved?– Opportunity to reflect back over the event?
![Page 13: 1 Responsive, Reflective & Responsible teaching John Mason AIMSSEC ACE Yr 2 Jan 2013 The Open University Maths Dept University of Oxford Dept of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f345503460f94c50c12/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Selective Sums
Cover up one entry from each row and each column. Add up the remaining numbers.
The answer is (always) the same!
Why?

3 1 5 -1
1 -1 3 -3

Reflection & Justification (Mathematical)
Topic Reviewed or Met?– Practicing addition & subtraction (whole numbers,
integers, fractions, even decimals)– Making choices with constraints
Powers used?– Imagining and Expressing; Specialising &
Generalising; Conjecturing & Convincing;– Being Systematic– Making records
Themes Encountered?– Seeking Relationships– Invariance in the midst of change– Freedom & Constraint– Doing & Undoing

Reflection & Justification (Task Format)
Why objects, not simply imagining or using pencil?
Confusion??? Something available if some finish first-part
quickly? How was work sustained? How was work brought to a conclusion?
– Conjectures?– Something not fully resolved?– Opportunity to reflect back over the event?

Selective Sums
Opportunity to generalise
Opportunity to quantify freedom of
choice
How much freedom of choice do you have when making up your own?

Selective Sums Variation
Choose a number s from 1, 2, 3
Select s numbers from each row and column (cover up 4–s numbers from each row and column)
Add up all the selected numbers
Why is it always the same?

Chequered Selective Sums
Choose one cell in each row and column.
Add the entries in the dark shaded cells and subtract the entries in the light shaded cells.

Specialise … in order to locate structural
relationships …then re-Generalise for
yourself
What do I know?What do I want?

Issues Arising
Choice of numbers Choice of wording Choice of setting:
– actual objects; drawings; symbols Opportunities for Students to
– Make significant mathematical choices– Use their own powers– Reflect on what has been effective for them
![Page 21: 1 Responsive, Reflective & Responsible teaching John Mason AIMSSEC ACE Yr 2 Jan 2013 The Open University Maths Dept University of Oxford Dept of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f345503460f94c50c12/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Responsible Reflection!
What did you notice for yourself? What has struck you from this session? What would you like to try out or evelop? Imagine yourself working on that for yourself
– Modifying something to use in your situation– Trying something out– Reflecting on what was effective
