Effective Pedagogy in Mathematics - Anthony and Walshaw (2007) by Melinda Dixon https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o en-us 2018-02-19 20:19:49 UTC 2025-12-11 11:37:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Key Ideas https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236219814 * Connecting learning to what students are thinking.
*Adapt learning approach to better suit student's needs.
* It's okay to make mistakes and use this error as a learning opportunity.
*Focus what student's know as a starting point.
*Reduce the complexity of tasks
*Directing planning and learning approach to what the students know.
*Sharing interpretation. Accepting different points of view.
*Thinking on your feet and having to manage with students who work at different abilities.
*Make the learning relatable or relevant to students. (Talking about pies)

Reinforcing that it is okay to key the answer wrong. That it is great to take a risk and have a try. Explaining that you can learn more from your mistakes than your getting the right answers. ]]> 2018-02-28 01:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236221219 Key Ideas from the Reading https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236221230 Successful teachers make connections between mathematical terminologies and their (children) everyday lives. 
Explaining these concepts and terminologies in such a way that the children will feel engaged and therefore have a better understanding.
Also exposing children to these new terms, will allow them to gain a stronger understanding of the world around them.

*Students should use different maths processes.  
* tasks should challenge students, giving them opportunities to think for themselves instead of always relying on teachers for answers. 
2) *Teachers giving students time to complete tasks. ]]> 2018-02-28 01:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236221459 Key Ideas https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236221599 2018-02-28 01:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236221599 https://padlet.com/melinda_dixon/9zvdtwy18b8o/wish/236221831 - Teacher needs to know the strengths and weaknesses of students.

-Teachers should be prepared and study up on the content before they teach. 

-Understand what your students struggle with and come back to the topic if needed

-Have enough knowledge to further and challenge students 

-Make sure what you're teaching is age appropriate

    Making connections between the topic of mathematics and everyday experiences. 

    Finding links between that maths topic 
    "solving problems that are situated in everyday context"

    Showing it in different format such as graphs and tables to make it more interactive therefore teachers are catering for different students needs.

    *Discuss with the whole class any problems or errors that have been raised and talk about how to deal with it.

    - Identifying learning problems
    - If you get the kids to think out loud and tell you their processes then this can help you to identify their understanding and where the road blocks are them. 
    - It can also show you if the kids are getting the answer in the right to wrong way. 
    - when you know these things this can help you to prepare future lessons based on the children's needs.
