Purpose for this session
9.00 – 12.00
• Discuss current issues and keep you up to date with current initiatives.
• Share research and practices for effective mathematics teaching.
• Develop an understanding of Peter Hughes’ ‘observable behaviour’ indicators.

Consecutive SumsHow many numbers can you make using consecutive sums?
For example, 9 = 2+3+4
1= 2= 3=
4= 5= 6=
7= 8= 9=
10= 11= 12=
13= 14= 15=
What do you notice? Are there any patterns?
For the solution, teachers notes and lots of other good rich tasks visit…http://nrich.maths.org/507

Slower to compare sets of dots

Subitising
Quickly identifying a random set of dots

7Which is physically bigger?
9As children with dyscalculia process number symbols less automatically, they may answer this questions slightly quicker as there is less interference of the number itself and can focus on the size.

Place the 3 on a number line
Children with dyscalculia tend to struggle with mental number line development

Interventions for Dyscalcluia
• Allow extra time• Use written and verbal instructions• Focus on understanding especially with quantity
• Reduce need for memorisation• Use materials and lots of practice• Ask lots of questions• Simple adaptations to games

Peter Hughes’ Observable Behaviours
• ‘Next steps’- we had requests for this last year and thought this activity may be valuable to then take back to share with your staff.

“Effective teachers understand the big ideas”.
The big picture –what do the stages mean?

Effective Pedagogy in MathematicsGlenda Anthony and Margaret Walshaw
• Walk around the room and read the ten characteristics of effective pedagogy in mathematics.
• Stand by the one that most resonates with you.
In your group, read more about that characteristic and highlight anything of interest.
Share one most interesting or powerful key idea.

“How teachers organise classroom instruction is very much dependent on what they know and believe about mathematics and on what they understand about mathematics teaching and learning”.
Effective Pedagogy in Mathematics leaflet p.25
Take a moment to reflect on your own beliefs…….
“What would a mathematician look like in your class?”
