DMIC Maths Observation 4 September

Today Trevor came to observe me take a DMIC lesson. I was anxious about it so he guided me through the process. I used a STAGE 7 GLOSS fractions question (which he liked!)

I was so stunned that the children managed to solve it and shared their thinking excellently through diagrams. Interestingly most of them cannot solve this problem on their own in the GLOSS diagnostic interview with me! But the collaboration led to deeper understanding. They even established a new rule/pattern which I hadn't expected. This was very rich learning so I'm looking forward to implementing more DMIC lessons.

DMIC Visit - MATHS

Trevor visited (FROM DMIC MATHS) to model a DMIC lesson. The children were engaged and keen to share their thinking. The mixed-ability is interesting as the weaker Maths learners were learning from their peers. It was great to see the children take ownership; explaining, illustrating and justifying their thinking to the other groups.

I'm looking forward to having a go at using this problem-solving approach, although a bit daunted by it. I hope I will be able to take the children in the direction they need to go, picking up on the gaps that arise at the time.
