As part of my Inquiry I worked with Hannah and Danni to create surveys for the learners, Leadership team and children about maths at our school.
It has been interesting to see what the teachers think are the key areas of need and to read descriptions of what is happening in each year level.
What I found most interesting was that well teachers felt they were teaching basic facts with a whole class approach through song, movement, Xtramath, Mathwhizz. It was also an area in which they felt there was a big need for children that wasn't being addressed.
They also mentioned the different between strand and number knowledge teaching and the pressure this creates for doing everything well which was similarly mentioned in the SMT survey.
What I liked and appreciated about this was the clear links to what the children thought about their maths (although these were only year 4 learners) and what the teachers noticed as needs.
Below are the results from the Teachers Survey found here.
