Do students struggle with maths?

Page 3: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

or with our teaching methods?

Page 4: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths
Page 5: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

The way children relate to maths is impacted by their notion of

success.

Page 6: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

How do YOU define success in mathematics?

Page 7: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

How do YOUR STUDENTS define it?

Page 8: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

For example, a helpful definition can be derived from the Working Mathematically outcomes and the research they are based on.

Page 9: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

This research outlines five strands of mathematical proficiency.

• Conceptual understanding • Procedural fluency • Strategic competence • Adaptive reasoning • Productive disposition

Page 10: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

And that’s just one helpful way to define success.

Page 11: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

On the other hand, an unhelpful definition can sever a student’s relationship with the subject.

unhelpful

Page 12: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

You know those moments when they struggle?

Page 13: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

… when thoughts of failure loom?

Page 14: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

… when their relationship with maths is most fragile?

Page 15: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

Those are the moments when they need a helpful

notion of success.

Page 16: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

A notion that doesn’t undermine their effort,

but rewards it.

Page 17: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

A notion that promotes ...

An Inquiry Relationship

Page 19: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

Do you mean inquiry based learning?

Page 20: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

Nope.

Page 21: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

Nor is it just another vague idea

(like enjoying maths or

being engaged).

Page 22: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

An inquiry relationship is characterised by:

• Confidence • Intuition • Curiosity

Page 23: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

My co-worker has an inquiry relationship

with the World Cup.

Page 24: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

My sister has an inquiry relationship

with cooking.

Page 25: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

What are YOUR inquiry relationships?

(Confidence, intuition, curiosity)

Page 26: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

And how do we encourage them in OUR STUDENTS?

Page 27: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

Join us

Page 28: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

We’ve just started a new online course.

It’s different.

Page 29: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

It’s a learning community

led by Kristen Tripet.

Page 30: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

Together we discuss and explore

this topic (and others).

Page 31: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

The course is packed

with the latest research.

Page 32: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

We also tease apart

mathematical fundamentals

Page 33: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

so that we can teach them more clearly.

Page 34: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

We support each other as we build our own

inquiry relationships with maths

Page 35: Teaching Struggling Students in Primary Maths

so we can help our students

build them too.
