teachers learning from teachers

Today  Ormiston Senior College opened their doors to mathematics teachers to share how they are personalising learning utilising technology. Teachers came from Albany in the north to Onewhero is the south.


I was definitely the kid with a new toy as I learned to drive a sphero.
With a bit of trial and error however the sphero was off.

I think the best day of school just got better.

Many thanks to Ormiston Senior College, Subash and his department for hosting us - A great morning - lots of learning - and lots of ideas shared.

It has evolved into a large collection of graded problems that ask students to choose an option and justify their choice using maths.  Visual Patterns.org A collection of over 400 patterns to begin rich discussions which can lead to a generalisation for the pattern.

I wonder what effect the results of these tests have on students mindset and motivation especially those that continually get Not Achieved ?
