Mathematics
•Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.

Numeracy
•The capacity to bridge the gap between mathematics and the real world ... and people are considered more or less numerate based on how well they choose and use the mathematical skills they have in the service of other things.
(Willis, as cited in
National Numeracy
Review Report 2008, p3)

Numeracy
•To be numerate is to use mathematics effectively to meet the general demands of life at home, in paid work and for participation in the community and civic life.
(AAMT. 1997: 10)

Principles of Planning for Success•Learning is built on existing knowledge•Learning requires that existing ideas be
challenged•Learning occurs when the learner makes
sense of the new ideas•Learning involves taking risks and making
errors•Learners get better with practice•Learning is enhanced by clarity of purpose

Coaching for Student Success in Mathematics
•Focusing on Students
![Page 15: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Guided Mathematics instruction•Brief and dynamic•Teacher introduces the learning
experience, demonstrates effective strategies and makes the mathematics explicit
•“Think aloud” technique•Students observe, ask questions and
model the strategies themselves under teacher direction
![Page 16: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Early Quantity using Manipulatives•Quantity as “howmuchness”
Angie has 5 new toy cars. She is deciding how
many cars to leave at home and how many to take to her babysitter’s house to play with there. What are the different choices that
Angie could make?

Shared Mathematics instruction•Teacher guides whole class or small
group as they think, talk and work their way through a mathematical experience
•Students should be given the opportunity to choose strategies and materials
•Students communicate their understandings as they share, discuss and explore
![Page 18: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Independent
•Follows a guided maths session•Students work individually •Teacher prompts at appropriate points
![Page 19: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Key resources
•Manipulatives – all classes•Children’s Literature•ICT (including calculators)•Teacher resource books•Textbook (optional)•Mathematics games and puzzles
![Page 20: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Characteristics of Effective Mathematics Instruction•Focused on having students make sense
of mathematics•Based on problem solving and the
investigation of important mathematical concepts
•Begins with the students’ understanding and knowledge of the topic
•Includes students as active rather than passive participants in their learning
![Page 21: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Characteristics of Effective Mathematics Instruction (continued)•Has students communicate and
investigate their thinking through ongoing discussion
•Includes all students, whether in the choice of problems or in the communicating of mathematical ideas
•Incorporates ongoing assessment of student understanding to guide future instruction
![Page 22: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Middle Algebra Lining Up•Your class is lining up in one line. You are
fifteenth (15th) from each end. How many people are in your class?
•What if you were seventh (7th) from each end?
•What if you were third (3rd) from each end?•Can you find a rule for working out the
answer if you are Nth from each end?

Whole Class Teaching – 15 min
•Guided instruction•Introduce or revisit a new concept•Guided instruction includes teacher
prompts and support for the students to reinforce, modify or extend their skills and understandings
![Page 28: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Shared instruction –Paired or small group work – 30 – 40 min
•Extension of the same concept•Teacher chooses a problem that offers a
range of entry points for students at different levels
•The problem is posed without giving the students the steps for solution
•Students work in pairs or small groups to solve the problem – sense-making, connections, careful questioning
![Page 29: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Paired or small group work (cont’d) •Students communicate their mathematical
thinking to one another, explain their ideas, listen to their peers and talk with the teacher
•Students learn to persevere•Teacher remains focussed on the key topic•Students and teacher examine errors and
misconceptions (learning opportunities)•Students share their solutions and
understandings
![Page 30: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Independent work – 10 min
•Students formally record their learnings•Students may independently solve a
similar problem
![Page 31: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Summary and planning – 5 min
•Teacher and students summarise the key learnings of the lesson
•Teacher anticipates the next lesson and/or new connections for the future
![Page 32: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Using Maths Pads for Student Communication•Need to cater for thinking space
(potentially messy) and a good copy space•If 1 pad – left side could be for thinking,
right side page could be good copy, or use back and front of pad
•If 2 pads – one is their thinking book, one is for good copies and outside audiences

Assessment - purposes
•Determine the students’ prior knowledge•Know what students have learned on a
given topic•Make decisions about future lessons•Identify individual difficulties•Obtain information for communication
with student, parents and administration
![Page 35: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Assessment methods
•Informative and non-intrusive•Students are able to show what they know
and can do•Mostly informal – observation of oral and
written work and discussion with the students
•Some short formal written tests, a portfolio of work, mathematical projects, short interviews
![Page 36: Planning for Success](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568150be550346895dbedf32/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Fraction Walk
•Place your cards as accurately as possible on the number line
•Discuss which fractions/decimals that might trick up students (or yourself!)
