On Thursday I went to the Maths Learning Community for school and came away with lots of ideas and thoughts about maths in the classroom. One school had just completed their local curriculum and were saying they have some 'musts' for maths. It was great to discuss the fluency of basic facts. We discussed how the necessity for some maths practice has changed as society has changed. For example, once upon a time a shop teller would add in their head the total for purchases. Now we have scanners and this is done automatically. So the contexts for doing maths have changed so how do we change our contexts or think about rich learning tasks.
Here are some resources I could bring back to Oruaiti School.
