How are we going to help the Year 4 students
to achieve at or above
the National Standards by the end of the year?
- One student will be in Kowhai for the first 15 minutes of the lesson so he can participate in Buddy Teaching
- For Buddy Teaching the students will be paired with a student who is at a different stage, such as in Kowhai the Square group will be paired with Circles and Triangles with be grouped with Diamonds
- Buddy teaching will happen at the beginning of each lesson where each buddy will be given time to show the other student what they have been learning
- Research shows that 90% of our learning takes place with our peers
- Maths Buddy has tutorial that practice strategic thinking. Would be great if this was available for the students to practice their strategic thinking
- First goal would be to improve basic facts
- In Kowhai there is a weekly speed test, and this is followed up at homework regarding timetables
- It would be beneficial for Deb and myself to observe Hannah teaching the Spring in to Maths Programme
- Three students will be monitored
- We will try the above steps until after Multiplication and Division Teaching finishes in Term 2. We will then review results and see what further steps need to be implemented.
