Maths:
Multiplicative Thinking
This week we had a
PLD on Maths. Sue Pine showed us how we could make our students think
multiplicatively and encourage them to solve problems in more that one way.
I found this PD
very useful. Maths is my favourite subject to teach and getting new ideas from
Sue was very exciting. I really enjoyed doing the activities that Sue had
introduced with my students. When my students made arrays they could think of
different ways to show their multiplicative thinking.
For example: 4x8=32 can be shown in different
ways like:
4 lots of 8 is 32
Students draw a
picture to show their understanding.
It's always wonderful to see teacher's implementing new learning into their classroom programmes Luti. You have so much new learning through Tessol and our Maths PLD. Your reflections offer an opportunity to 'think aloud' about new learning...keep it up!
