Maths Intensive 2026

  Reflecting  Learning from the past 3 weeks and how I have been reflecting on my own teaching practices in the classroom.  I have been more aware of the Learning Intentions and Success Criteria and how this is shared with the learners. Taking the time to develop an understanding of these two statements has also helped the students have a better understanding of the 'why' of maths.  Learning today This morning I was reminded of the importance to check students knowledge and skills with digital technology. This is essential for the students to engage with, create and share their learning. It is also vital that the class site is up to date and visible so that the students and their whanau can have access to learning and sharing. We have discussed the practice of effective planning and connections across the strands and other learning areas that relate to the learners. Using time to 'Take stock' of where we are at has helped the reflection process and redirect the goals...

 So much to reflect on but the key point that I have taken from today is... Connections  * Connecting with the learning and resources. Doing the scaffolding/building prior to ensure that I have the knowledge and planning to support the learning going forward. Having a ' Growth Mindset'. * Connecting with my learners. 'Putting myself in their shoes.' Providing opportunities to learn in a variety of ways. Reflections I really enjoyed digging deeper into PAT and gaining a greater understanding of the valuable tool this is to inform my planning, resourcing and teaching practices.  Having a visual library of resources and examples of planning to support me on the journey moving forward with implementing my maths programme in a more succinct way. The chance to dig deeper into some of the tools and create resources that I will use within my teaching.
