Ako: Teachers can use a range of strategies that promote effective teaching interactions and relationships with their learners. [ Ako means to learn as well as to teach. It refers both to the acquisition of knowledge and to the processing and imparting of knowledge. More importantly it is a teaching-learning practise that involves teachers and students learning in an interactive dialogic relationship]

Report back time Group to report back 5 mins each and discussion. Overview of courses planned and pathways.

Old Issues, New Situation Programmes for students not well served by traditional math programmes. Low ability Y10 students, how do they get numeracy?

Old Issues, New Situation Programmes for students not well served by traditional math programmes. Students who have 10 numeracy credits ONLY – now what?

Old Issues, New Situation Programmes for students not well served by traditional math programmes. Students who have 14 credits all at Achievement level and NCEA L1. Now what?

A Solution? Year 12 Statistics Course along side Year 12 Mathematics Course. Who does this pathway fit? Possibility, Year 13 might be Calc, Stat and Math in Hmmmm…

Junior programmes What are the big picture ideas for Year 9/10 programmes? Do we do NCEA assessment here? Next slide is nearly last for 1 st session.

How to solve a problem Read the question Draw a picture of the problem Outline your strategy to use Do the calculations Answer the task

A successful approach 2012 data TS 64 Year 11 students assessed. 47 passed with A and M. Nearly 75% success. Almost all Maori.

End of Session 1 When Brownie, the chicken farmer travelled to town at 30km/hr he noticed he arrived an hour too early. He noticed that when he travelled at 20km/hr he arrived an hour too late. Write a question that we can answer. Literacy Question

Session 2 The answer is of course 24km/hr or 120km or 5 hrs. Mrs Brown What was the question?

UNPACKING 2 standards 2.9 Inference 2.14 Simultaneous A curious question? If circles are not in 2.2 (non-function), why is y=√x in the secguides? Are circles in 2.14?

2.9 Inference AME see file 8 and 8.1 What do students have to learn. Discuss boundaries with student work. Good info on BLOG/Census at Schools and the aucksec.wiki

2.9 Teaching Sequence How would you go about teaching this? What practice activities can I use to make this task more accessible. Innovation?

2.14 Simultaneous AME see file 9.2 and 9.3 What do students have to learn. Discuss boundaries with student work. Good info on senior sec guides

2.14 Teaching Sequence How would you go about teaching this? What practice activities can I use to make this task more accessible. Calculators?

Accessible Learning What innovative practice activities can I use to make this task more accessible.

SUMMING UP WHAT HAVE LEARNED? Card comment with questions (prompt) Stickies questions need answering Evaluation forms please.
