DMIC lesson 2 observed by Bridget (uni) and Lori (DP)
Reflection:
Its establishing norms rather than rules.
I find that repeating what the students had answer is a great way therefore everyone stays focus.
I realised that this way everyone was participating. It was a great learning curve and this will take time for me to digest all the information at once.

PD4 part one
Going forward with high expectations shown in tasks
Energy and commitment
Teaching mathematics
Takes energy and commitment
Risk taking
Needs you to keep checking out your belief systems about

Believing in all children’s ability to learn Mathematics
Growing pedagogical skills
Creating the norm in the classroom.
Productive struggle.
Establishing the norms – Respectful relationships,
Launch = what the story ( problems ) are saying?
Vocabs
Raising the status of the students
More than one way of solving the problems
Student agency
-
90 percent are more on it
Values
-
Think again about your core values?
-
How do they play out in the classrooms?
-
Has this changed as your have enacted DMIC?
Thinking like a mathematician
-
Thinking like a mathematician involves making connections
between ideas, approaching problems creatively, adapting known methods in new
ways and transferring learning to new context
-
Working like a mathematician involves
persistence, willingness to take risks and the capacity to explain solutions.
None of this can happen in schools if students are always
being shown what to do
Students can benefit if they work on problems that they have
not been shown how to solve and explain to others their own strategies.
