Six Facets of Understanding

Differentiated Curriculum-theory based on premise that instructional approaches should vary and be adapted in relation to individual and diverse students in classroom

How can we achieve this in a Math class?-Know where the children are at-Choose relevant/ appropriate learning tasks- Explicit teaching-Focused lessons-Flexible groupings ( Use the one hour lesson planner as a guide)

Standards and progression points

Indicators of progress

Focused observation and diagnostic tasks

Mathematics

Developmental

Continuum

Place value activity

List down some of your favorite activities ( Some you have done before)

Choose a game or activity and adapt it to be more open - ended or more challenging

PLANNING A UNIT OF WORK

• Choose your topic•How long do you want it to go for? (1 or 2 weeks?)•How many sessions will you have?•Look at your assessment•Look at the continuum and progression points•Plan from point of need•Include different types of lessons e.g open ended tasks, games, skills, ICT•Have I included appropriate assessment activities?•Have I included correct mathematical language?
