All of which are essential for the overall development each student. I included as many of these as possible in my planning as they are essential for the development of individuals. ]]> 2019-05-10 08:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358788763 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358795734  • Expressing ideas mathematically • Estimating, predicting and calculating • Developing a positive disposition towards investigating, reasoning and problem-solving • Seeing patterns, trends and relationships • Gathering, interpreting and representing data • Using digital technology to develop numeracy skills and understanding

*Numeracy was introduced in a variety of ways throughout this unit
*Students used numeracy in investigations calculating speed, acceleration, force etc.
*Also used the dice activity to break up the hour long classes as a means of asking questions. ]]> 2019-05-10 09:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358795734 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358797132 Students developed this skill when trying to figure out a variable that may impact the speed of a car e.g. weight and then trying to figure out how test that with a toy car.

Ramps have different materials - represent different levels of friction
Ramps at different slopes
Coins used to add weights to the toy cars. ]]> 2019-05-10 09:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358798967 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358805012 From research and studying different methods I incorporated something very similar to the Tick-Tack-Toe method only in each box I put different levels of questions. In box 1 = easy questions 
....
In box 6 = hard questions 
Students were asked to complete the box that suited them best with advice from me.  ]]> 2019-05-10 09:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358805012 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358808115 Excellent video breaking down what Inquiry based learning in really about and what it asks from both teacher and student. Allows students to construct own knowledge and formulate own questions. As teacher and educators I believe it is our duty to provide various pathways so the students can construct their own learning = Meat-psychology. ]]> 2019-05-10 09:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358808115 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358810492 This was a key aspect of my teaching, it was used for both reflective practice and Inquiry based learning. The section for the two questions students had was vital. They could ask any question at all. The majority of the time it was not directly related to the content I would have covered. If a valid and appropriate question the student would research it and present to the class in the next lesson.  ]]> 2019-05-10 10:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358810492 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358811913 2019-05-10 10:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358811913 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358817056 Throughout the eight week period, one of the main aspects that I tried to include in my teaching was Inquiry based learning. It did come with its struggles. This paper shows and discusses how children of different ages develop and as they develop how their level of questioning and active inquiry skills develop also. It was a key skill that I wanted to develop with the students over the eight weeks. Getting them to ask more questions, to try get them to critically think when doing experiments about why is this or that happening and if so could be change it in anyway to see if we could find any patterns or relationships between variables. ]]> 2019-05-10 10:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/358817056 conorleech16 https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/359107732 2019-05-11 13:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/conorleech16/d2g1l51vml8j/wish/359107732
