Enhance your awareness of what mathematics strategies work best – and WHEN those practices are best leveraged to maximise students' ownership of their learning.

 

Session 1:

It's not enough to know what strategies work best – it's knowing WHEN those practices are best leveraged to maximise students' ownership of their learning. Practical examples, insights and strategies to reflect on and use in your own practice is at the heart of this day. The focus will be on demonstrating how using the right approach at the right time can help you more intentionally design classroom experiences that hit the surface, deep, and transfer phases of learning. This session includes Visible Learning research, its connections to surface, deep, and transfer learning as it relates to mathematics, and the most impactful approaches to use in each stage of learning.

Leave this session with:

  • Deeper understanding of the principles of Visible Learning research in the mathematics classroom,
  • Practical examples of the three phases of learning in action and the unique importance of each phase: surface, deep, and transfer,
  • Additional or refined high impact mathematics instructional strategies that have the greatest impact on student growth, and
  • Ways to strategise what practices to implement at the right time in a student's learning, while keeping rigour in mind.

 

Session 2:

Insights into Implementation #1 - Implement Metacognitive Strategies

Research shows that some instructional strategies have a greater impact than others and that it's not about which strategy—it's about when you implement it.

How can we ensure that we are providing powerful, precision teaching? What do some of these instructional strategies look like in practice?

Join mathematics expert Shane Crawford as he explores mathematics strategies and practices that you can utilise to ensure all students make significant progress in mathematics.

Leave this session with:

  • An understanding of when and why the instructional strategy has a high impact
  • Experience of the instructional strategies
  • Practical ideas for implementation

 

Session 3:

Insights into Implementation #2 - Create Mathematical Tasks

How do you currently decide which mathematical task is going to best suit the learning needs of your students?

In this session, mathematical tasks are analysed through the lens of difficulty and complexity to support teachers making decisions about the type of tasks they design students.

Leave this session with:

  • A shared language for determining the complexity and difficulty of tasks, and
  • Skills and knowledge to analyse and adjust tasks using the difficulty and complexity quadrants

 

Session 4:

Insights into Implementation #3 - Implement Direct Instruction

Direct instruction is an intervention that provides learners with the modelling, scaffolding, and practice they require when learning new concepts and skills. It can be deliberately used by mathematics teachers to support learning.

Leave this session with:

  • An overview of the key features of effective direct instruction,
  • Examples of direct instruction, and
  • Plans for strengthening your direct instruction implementation.

 

Target Audience: K-12 numeracy or mathematics leaders, curriculum coordinators or classroom teachers.
