This week we have been focussing on:
- Asking questions
- Everyone thinking about what speaker is saying
- Being ready to repeat what the speaker has said
- Being ready to explain thinking
Discourse is really important in all areas of the curriculum. In Maths, this encourages students to think deeply about Mathematical concepts. Effective discourse happens when students articulate their thinking and consider the thinking of others.
An example of some effective mathematical discourse that has been made visible:
Students were invited to find as many different ways they can to solve: How many dots? This encouraged flexible thinking about number which improves Number Sense.
Students have been learning to use a Growth Mindset in Maths. They are learning that risk taking and mistakes help the brain to grow.
