We discussed a number of challenges that we felt were important to student learning and I've left of these below.
- Children having a range of knowledge but not being able to apply it correctly.
- Children revert to early number strategies as these are the most prominent in their brain even though they have more effective ways of solving problems.
-Children having gaps in knowledge either from Covid or from not retaining knowledge from previous years.
- Children not understanding how they can move onto the next step in their learning.
- Children not having the self-confidence or self-efficacy to learn from others and apply that learning in different contexts.
As we reflect on the many challenges we have identified in mathematics we realise that this is a massive area to study and look into. We wanted to choose the biggest ticket items for each class or group and really understand how we can make a difference for the children and there is. I told her up, perhaps looking at children understanding the gaps and their next steps as being something I could do in my classroom. I also discussed how building self-efficacy, self-confidence and sharing of knowledge could link nicely to Hannah's extension group.
