(Textbook is typically 1-8-1)

8. Northern Metropolitan Region Achievement Improvement Zones Mixed Media model 4 different learning styles: One lesson whole class tch focused instruction Concrete investigation/challenge (Eg Maths 300) Computer learning activity (Eg. Mathletics) Independent structured worksheets/textbook Whole class lesson then three groups rotate through one lesson of each style Discuss how differentiation in relation to this model

Northern Metropolitan Region Achievement Improvement Zones Week 4Level 2 Monday Warm up 10 min Flash cards: Numbers, word, subitize dots Launch 10-15 min Focus: Revision of number facts to 10 Activity: Story and materials sketches about 2 paddocks and 4 cows. How might the farmer arrange the cows? (eg 0 + 4, 1 + 3, 3 + 1) Explore 20 min Easy Middle Hard Use paper paddocks and 5 counters to redo the launch activity independently and write the equations 5 = 1 + 4, etc Use paddock paper and 10 counters to explore groupings to make 10 Write a number between 5 and 10 (or 20) on one side of card. (Model) & write all the number facts for the number on the back of the card. Summarise 10 min Select student to list a number fact on a class chart.
