Maths Counts Insights into Lesson Study 1

Teacher: Olivia Kelly SHS Maths department Class: First year Maths Ability:Mixed 2

Introduction: Focus of Lesson Student Learning : What we learned about students’ understanding based on data collected Teaching Strategies: What we noticed about our own teaching Strengths & Weaknesses of adopting the Lesson Study process 3

Introducing a variable in Algebra

5 Traditionally, we begin algebra with: - evaluating expressions -adding & subtracting terms -multiplying terms.

6 Foundation of learning We noticed cracks in senior cycle Traditional approach is not working

Discussed ideas Decided to incorporate use of Teaching &Learning Plans available Researched other resources and ideas online Syllabus 7

“ The relationships-based approach to learning algebra should culminate in students having a deep understanding of algebra which allows easy movement between story, table, graph and equation.” 8

By the end of the first lesson students should be able to: Explore the idea of variable as a symbol that can stand for any member of a set of numbers Substitute numbers for variables (letters) to discover unknown values 9

Data Collected from the Lesson: 1.Academic e.g. samples of students’ work 2.Motivation 3.Social Behaviour 10

Variable Machine Overhead Projector ‘Cracking the Code’ student hand-out Whiteboard Word Bank Student copies Teaching & Learning Plans 11

12

13

Lesson Opening (prior learning) Word Bank The Variable Machine! Student Activity hand-out Pair Work for Q.3 onwards 14

Questioning 1.What is a variable? 2.How did you use your variable machine to determine the value of your first name? 3.Is it possible to change the values of each of the letters in a variable machine, or are they always the same value? 15

Extension Learning The value of the letter can vary! 16

17

High levels of enthusiasm for - Variable machine -Deriving values for their name -Straight to work, excitement in the room Lower levels of enthusiasm - Q4 & 5 as they found this more difficult 18

Student pair work Students enjoyed interaction They engaged with other pairs trying to find words with a value of 25 and 100. Higher than usual noise levels Some students seemed to lose interest if they couldn’t crack the code 19

After the initial introduction of a variable in Algebra, we continued the topic using a patterns-based approach 20

TOPIC LEARNING OUTCOMES… use tables to explore and represent a repeating pattern generalise and explain patterns and relationships in words and numbers write an arithmetic expressions for particular terms in a sequence find the underlying formula written in words from which the data is derived (linear relations) 21

Recommendations The adjustments you have made or would make in the future 28

Students enjoyed active learning where they engaged in the topic 29

What did I notice about my own teaching? 1.Considerably more preparation time required than usual 2.I felt my role changed in the classroom 3.It was difficult to work out different ideas presented by students, so we began the following class with a recap, and used their combined answers. All students took this down 30

Was it difficult to ask questions to provoke students’ deep thinking? Yes, as they were all working at different paces I was nervous that they might ask something I wasn’t fully prepared for, and steer away from the direction I intended 31

How did I engage and sustain students’ interest and attention during the lesson? 32

How did I assess what students knew and understood during the lesson? Directed Questioning Observation All students got involved individual work and pair work 33

How did I put closure to the lesson? I asked students to answer three questions for homework based on the lesson, intended to recap and reinforce student understanding 34

Student Learning : Students were engaged and active throughout topic series Teaching Strategies: Other than the preparation, most of the work in class was from the students 35

Strengths & Weaknesses As a mathematics team how has Lesson Study impacted on the way we work with other colleagues? We work closely as a pilot school, but have collaborated a lot during this task. 36

Strengths & Weaknesses Personally, how has Lesson Study supported my growth as a teacher? More confident to try new approaches to my teaching 37

Thank you for listening 38
