The level of inquiry should come from the students - game changing vs myself always planning an inquiry to deliver to the students.

The idea of maths based modelling tasks that can be set up build a bridge/ pyramid or origami like method.

use of software tools to model maths, technology can enhance the learning and improve the rate of learning, so being competent in tools will help

ATT - 1) Diagnostic Test

Diagnostic assessment to be conducted in the start of the the AY or before starting a unit/specific concept. This will provide us enough data to tailor our lessons according to the needs of the student. We can identify the learners level and then shape our teaching accordingly.

ATT - 2) Differentiated Instructions

This approach will help us address diverse learning levels in a way that each student will be appropriately targeted. Advanced level student will be given the opportunity to tackle challenging problems while students who need more support will be further scaffolded with more inquiry based tasks to stimulate their interest.

ATT - 3) Project based learning

This approach evolves students engagement by involving real-life mathematical projects such as designing a budget or exploring geometrical concepts in architecture.

This inculcates deeper connection to the content being taught, fosters critical thinking and give students a sense of ownership on what they are learning.

ATT/1- Balance: to identify what is absolute, what is relative and what are the gray areas. It is imperative for students to understand that math relates to all these areas. Knowing this will help students to justify their conclusions.

ATT/2- Socratic Seminar: a teaching based on the philosophy of Socrates which implies open-ended questions and deep discussions. This approach will help students to link math to TOK.

ATT/3 – Visible Thinking Desk. This approach will help students to visualize, analyze and research complex real life related phenomena.

ATT- Thinking skills

Three ways to assess if students are successfully applying critical thinking skills in your math classroom:

Quality of Explanations:
- Observation: Listen to students' explanations of their problem-solving processes.
- Indicators: Students can articulate their reasoning clearly, provide supporting evidence, and consider alternative perspectives.
Flexibility and Adaptability:
- Observation: Observe how students approach new problems or unexpected challenges.
- Indicators: Students can adjust their strategies, explore different approaches, and persevere when faced with difficulties.
Evaluation of Arguments:
- Observation: Analyze how students critique the reasoning of others or evaluate mathematical claims.
- Indicators: Students can identify flaws in arguments, question assumptions, and provide counterarguments when appropriate.
