Use them more often!

I moved to Y4 this year from Y1, I taught in Foundation for years so this was incredibly helpful. I'm used to using manipulatives with younger children but not as much with older ones.

# data[].attributes.body
to use more modelling using resources not just boards showing them being used.

# data[].attributes.body
Use of counters when showing multiplication- doing this first then moving towards the more abstract methods. Leaving the concrete resources on show and referring back to them to deepen understanding of explanations- superb idea!

I now have a bank of alternative resources/manipulatives that will come in useful for teaching further topics and topics that I have already taught.

Alternative ways to teach difficult areas e.g. fractions/time

- Use a variety jugs, beakers, scales, calpol syringes, kettle, thermometer etc.
- Take the learning outside for children to physically measure liquids
- Use chalk to create number lines to show what they have measured
- Blank laminated number lines
- Ask children to come up with their own list of items that use measure at home (kettle, thermometer etc)
- Different scales on different items - children to first of all work out what each interval is worth
- Images of items being weighed for children to solve 'what is each item worth' questions
- comparing the same amount in different sized equipment
- Converting between different measures

All focusing on time next term,
- Paper plate clocks with post its, one side hour, one side minutes. Lift up the PI and see the other.
- Practical lesson with hula hoops using bodies/number cards.
- Outside clock.
- Small clocks in classroom.
- Learning concept of time first.
- Representation of time with multilink in 5's with minutes around the outside to make the connection.
-Number line used to separate AM and PM.
- Counting in 5s
- Class circle- middle counts in 1s and outside counts in 5s to show the connection  between the numbers and what they actually mean in time.
- Showing 1-12 then 13-24 so they know why. Different colours for day and night.
- Top Marks online clock where you can drag the time round to visually show the time moving.
- Numicon 1-12 around the outside of the clock.

- online resources (top marks, mymaths, purplemash)
- Reciting the 5 times table
- calendars - learning rhymes for days in the months

-plastic/wooden shapes- 2D and 3D
-paper shapes - foldable
-shapes found in day to day life- real life exposure
-multilink to see right angles and to build examples of shapes
-toothpicks/ blue tac /knex etc to make shapes - to make strongest structure eg building a bridge
-Geoboards
-clocks
- chalks to draw, label properties outside.
- children themselves to look at sides and angles etc. Are they regular/irregular shapes?

Difficult to complete task as didn't directly link to planning at the time.
NCTEM - ping pong teaching, using problem solving, white rose.
Focus of task used as starters and then identified focus groups from this who required further intervention.
I see reasoning website great for visual tasks.
Torture tables completed at the start of each lesson.
Stem sentences used- trying to use manipulative strategies and applying these.
Trying to make it more fun with concrete resources and regular to they are used to them and not distracted.
Small steps can feel like big steps if some already have it and others don't and you feel you should be moving on but some children are not accessing it at that point.
How do we not leave anybody behind who isn't accessing the material? We can push the GDS on to mastery but how do you bring the LA children with you.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a 50/50 mix of who was here last time, so we spoke about the use of small steps in the schemes we use. We recognised the benefits for different abilities and plugging gaps, however we also discussed the challenges we have faced when trying to stretch those higher attainers.

# data[].attributes.body
Small steps can be difficult if you are following a scheme of work.
Great for interventions - but having staff and time can be tricky.
Time table small steps - different abilities within the class, what are the more able learning if they already know it?
Peer teaching??
Gaps can be quite wide between the children.

# data[].attributes.body
We found the stem sentences useful as it allowed children to verbalise their thinking. The pictorial representations were clear and helped children especially those struggling with the concept.

# data[].attributes.body
None of us were in the last session. However we talked about the use of small steps in the schemes we use (white rose and maths no problem) and the benefits of the small steps for different abilities and plugging the gaps that children have.

At this time of year, we have completed multiplication and division. Something I could use later this year would be more beneficial.
