PYP MATH WIS by https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l What questions, ideas or concerns do you have about Math teaching and learning at WIS? en-us 2020-10-08 09:16:23 UTC 2025-11-19 05:58:24 UTC hello@padlet.com What questions, ideas or concerns do you have about the teaching of Math at WIS? (Could be related to the UK standards) mkachmarstgis https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/813176550 2020-10-08 09:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/813176550 Multiplication https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821542554 Multiplication starts at a young age, with memorization in the UK standards. This takes away from the chance to teach multiplication through inquiry. ]]> 2020-10-12 13:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821542554 If we are adding to the bare bones that we have at present, will the add ons be from other countries or.......? It might turn into a free for all? In MYP I think they lean more toward the US Core Curriculum for Math, so are we going to bridge the gap between UK and US? lswift3 https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821542862 2020-10-12 13:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821542862 Because the MYP uses US standards, are we preparing our students to enter MYP at the right level? Is there crossover between the systems that makes some teaching redundant/are there gaps between the systems that means our students are missing big ideas? teachermorrell https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821544135 2020-10-12 13:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821544135 US vs UK https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821546026 The us has Standards of Mathematical Practice that go with the US stands. They address more thinking, and attitudes.

Needs further revision. ]]> 2020-10-12 13:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821546789 Low students https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821549215 We have a lot of students really far behind when they arrive with us. I think a lot of that is due to the fact that we are using a curriculum from the UK which (as a country) requires PreK and Kindergarten. This means our students who went to PreK and K at WIS are significantly higher than the students who enter into our school at grades 1, 2, 3 etc. ]]> 2020-10-12 13:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821549215 https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821549238 Love the idea of developing attitudes towards maths!]]> 2020-10-12 13:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821549238 Common Vocabulary teachermorrell https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821550290 Can we create a word bank of math terms and vocabulary, so that students aren't moving from grade to grade needing to learn all new terminology for the same concepts?]]> 2020-10-12 13:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821550290 Thinking verbs for maths https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821560416 What do you think of incorporating thinking verbs into our math curriculum? For example, "tinker", etc. ]]> 2020-10-12 13:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkachmarstgis/qf4dphi9n8fjye6l/wish/821560416
