Assessing your embedding of rich tasks into the curriculum:
Thinking about what to do next
Build on your experiences, adding in new material and trying it
out. Using the mapping documents can ensure a range of experiences
for your pupils. It is not enough to employ a concept or process
once, you will need to revisit these again and again, each time
thinking about how the pupils will develop. For example, when
considering problem-solving skills, pupils will develop in
different ways, such as:
- Becoming more independent with you having to do less supporting
in order for them to think of ideas of their own.
- Applying more sophisticated content knowledge
- Being more equipped to talk about their mathematics
- More able to apply what they know in less familiar
settings
- Better able to make connections with things they have done
before
- Showing greater sophistication and organisation in their
recording methods.
How does your scheme of work allow this to happen?
The important thing to do is:
Reflect -
evaluate - modify if necessary
