nzmaths & ARB's linked to learning progression framework

By -
Why use the Learning Progression Framework (LPF) to map students progress ? Look here 
How do I learn about PACT? Start here and then have a go with the PACT Demo site 

The PACT tool sits alongside the LPF and supports teachers to report student progress against the curriculum.
The secondary case studies to date in have been mainly around reading and writing across English Science and Social studies but still provide useful reading for mats & stats teachers.

Support is available for schools to get started through Education services and Centrally Funded PLD (also known as locally focussed PLD).


Sitting alongside the LPF and often overlooked resource by secondary teachers are the Assessment Resource Banks (ARB's) - a huge collection of activities aligned to the NZC which can be used to support learning.


NZMaths resources have been recently linked to the Learning Progression Framework and you can now filter resources based on an aspect and a curriculum level

If you are in Auckland and using LPF or PACT or are considering using LPF and PACT in 2020 email us at aklmathsnoe@gmail.com. Through the Networks of Expertise we are keen to connect teachers and schools so that we can share our knowledge and save us all reinventing the wheel.

We are often looking for ideas to have students work purposefully for short or longer bursts. This post has a collection of  seven sites that you and your students could work on independently, in pairs, small groups or as whole class  Would you rather ?  Would you rather began as a way for John Stevens to start his classes. 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. Collated by Fawn Nguyen , On the sidebar of her blog you will find links to others sites. Open Middle A huge collection of  problems sorted by topic and grade level. Open middle problems start and finish at the same point but offer multiple pathways through.

Happy hump day - of course hump day means that there is not long until our students are leaving to write their exams. With that comes plenty of practice tests. I wonder what effect the results of these tests have on students mindset and motivation especially those that continually get Not Achieved ? Stiggins (2007) suggests we should look at the effect of assessment from the students point of view. from his research he notes that: For students who are succeeding For students who are Not Achieving Assessment Results Reinforce success Reinforce failure Which makes them feel Hopeful & optimistic Useless They think I am in control I can’t do this Feedback helps me Feedback is more criticism They become more likely to Revise Quit Take initiative Avoid doing anything Keep going when the going gets hard Simply give ...

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. Next stop Auckland Maths Association   AGM & Quiz Night Get a team (of 4) together  or join a team on the night Wednesday February 28th  Mt Eden Bowling Club, Epsom Ave, Epsom.
