2. Features of a good mathematics lesson Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) ‘Realistic’ means that the context of the problem is imaginable for the pupils and they can experience it as real to them Pupil interaction and discussion When children have to share ideas – To explain, discuss and sometimes justify the opinions they hold- this tends to lead to a better, more Generalisable and`‘principled’ understanding Centre for Mathematics Education

3. Helping to create and sustain Mathematical models From his birth, Jordan was measured on a regular basis. On the right you see his two growth graphs, one for length and one for weight. 13a. How old is Jordan now? What is his length now? And his weight? b. How often was Jordan measured? c. What do you think the dark shaded areas mean? Centre for Mathematics Education

4. Bringing common classroom text book questions to life Centre for Mathematics Education Mrs. West travels home from a visit to Birmingham. This is the graph of her journey.

5. Distance to home (km) time

6. Suggested questions to accompany graph. a.Where do you think Mrs West might live? b.Do you think Mrs West travelled with the same type of transport all the way? Explain. c. Mrs West phoned home when she still had 100 km to travel. About what time did she phone? d.You could make a graph of her trip that is increasing instead of decreasing. What do you need to change on the axes? Centre for Mathematics Education
