A look at our numeracy teaching using a Targeted Teaching Model.TRANSCRIPT
One Size Fits AllWe have inherited an education system that was designed for another era

Term GoalsTerm 2 Khan AcademyAs mentioned earlier this term there are 6 key units for this term. Completion of each of these gives a Challenge Patch (Shown on the Khan achievements page)They are:Addition and SubtractionMultiplication and DivisionBasic GeometryAnglesTrianglesRates and Ratios Do you have any Questions? Please See Mr Folland
Term 2 Khan Academy GradesThe requirements to achieve each grade are listed below. The dead line is End of Week 9 D grade you must achieve 1 challenge patch from the term 2 list and a minimum of 50 modules C grade 3 challenge patches from the list and 70 Modules B grade 5 challenge patches (including 3 from the list) and 100 modules A grade 7 challenge patches (including 5 from the list) and 130 modules
So what was the problem with Kahn?
Students did not engage with the videos.
Students became frustrated by the mastery demands.
Students did not manage their learning well.
We didn’t set up effective coaching structures.
Students did not complete goals.
Students fell behind with their learning and some didn’t achieve standards.
A Change in Plan – Streaming
Consultation with parents and students led to dividing students into groups where they could be better supported.
Teams of teachers helped students get back on track with their maths.
Learning was not effectively individualized.
A Better Model – Targeted Teaching(T2)
Steve heard of a model for individualized maths teaching used by Rosslyn Shepherd former principal of Bridgewater Primary.
The system revolved around short Targeted Teaching sessions to help students develop their understanding.

Probability
Name:____________________ Advisory:________ T2 Teacher:_______________
T2 Teaching Focus:
Probability is a measure of how likely something is to happen.
Many events can't be predicted with total certainty. The best we can say is how likely they are to happen, using the idea of probability.
Tossing a coin
When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes:
Heads (H) or Tails (T)
We say the probability of the coin landing H is ½
And the probability of the coin landing T is ½
Throwing a dice
When a single die is thrown, there are six possible outcomes:
1,2,3,4,5,6
And the probability of any one of them is 1/6
In general
Probability (P) of an event happening= Number of ways it can happen Total number of outcomes
T2 Example 1: The chances of rolling a "4" with a die
Number of ways it can happen: 1 (there is only 1 face with a "4" on it)
Total number of outcomes: 6 (there are 6 faces altogether)
So the probability P(4) = 16
