Inside/Outside Circle• Each person from your board go to one of the
four corners1 min discussion
• Share an interesting aspect from the ‘view & discuss’ or ‘do’ that you participated in.
• How are the Big Ideas impacting your practice?• Which is more comfortable for you: Open or
Parallel Tasks, and why?• How are you using the MATCH Template and/or
PPQT to help you with lesson planning?

• Nobody responds.
• One thing we need to work on are strategies to use in that situation.
Let’s try an example.

This picture shows that 4x + 2 = 2 (2x + 1) no matter what x is.
• Explain why.• Now draw another picture that shows another equation that is true no matter what x is.

• General scaffolds are also helpful.

Thinking about feedback• Suppose a student does well on a task.
What kind of feedback do teachers tend to give?
• Does that help the good student move on?• Suppose a student does not do well on a
task. What kind of feedback do teachers tend to give?
• Does that help the weak student to move on?

Looking at Student Work
• In pairs, pick one of the student’s work.
• What feedback would you give students to move them forward?
• Share with another pair.

Example 1Task A:
• Think of a way to represent the pattern with the general term 3n +1.
• How does your representation tell you whether 925 is a term in the pattern?
Task B: • Think of a way to
represent a pattern where each term value is eight times the term number.
• How does your representation tell you whether 925 is a term in the pattern?
Learning goal: Represent the general term of a linear growing pattern

Possible Scoring SchemeThis could be marked as a 6-mark question
• 3 marks for a really good representation of the pattern which means that you are representing the right pattern (which is the most important thing) without errors
• 3 marks for a complete explanation for why 925 is or is not in the pattern based on the representation

Example 3Choose an equation to solve where the solution is an integer. Solve it in at least three different ways, explaining your thinking for each method.
Suppose you had chosen an equation where the solution turned out to be a fraction. Which of your methods would be more likely to help you? Why?
