School Based PD - all Mathematics teachers
Lead by Maths HOD or SMT
Every Monday afternoon from 2 – 4 pm
Week
Agenda 1
Discussing and sharing of LPs (LD), pedagogies & strategies (Lower Primary) 2
Discussing and sharing of LPs (LD), pedagogies & strategies (Upper Primary) 3

Post discussion (WWW, EBI and way forward)

6. Discussing and sharing of LPs (LD), pedagogies & strategies
List of questions which maybe helpful during discussion:
Why did we choose to focus on this topic?
What do students currently understand about this topic?
What do we want our students to understand at the end of the lesson?
How will students respond to the questions and activities in the lesson? What kind of thinking, problems, and misconceptions will arise, and how will we use these ideas and misconceptions to advance the lesson?
What will make this lesson motivating and meaningful to students?

8. FEEDBACKS What Went Well in 2016 Even Better If
Year 6 PLC were more focus on issues that we all face in classroom. During PLC, presenters share about students learning difficulties, challenges and suggested several methods that they have tried and explain why/how it helps their students.
Year 6 PLC also focus on words problem. One of the major challenge that all schools face. We have the opportunity to discuss our individual approaches when teaching words problem. Most teachers agreed that using bar models was the best strategy.
Year 1-5 PLC were more on sharing ideas in creating interesting activities, games for students. They were able to learn from one another to create their own resources and have the opportunities to try out the activities themselves.
PLC for Yr can be further improve beside creating resources, fun activities for learners if some date were set aside for discussion on real issues in class where teaching take place.
Most of the issues and activities presented deal with multiplication and division skills. In future, we hope that PLC/PD will focus on other topics beside multiplication and division.
Application of the strategies or methods shared during PD in the classroom
Compilation of strategies or methods shared as part of SBC Maths resource bank
