What does the lesson look like?

• Each lesson begins with a hands-on warm-up activity to engage students and give them the resources needed to practice their fluency

• Teachers complete a whole class focus to tune students into the lesson's activities

• Students work in Maths groups. These groups rotate between working with the teacher, independent activities, hands-on fluency games and the use of ICT

• Throughout the lesson the teacher addresses any misconceptions that they have observed

• At the conclusion of the lesson, students share and give feedback on the lesson

Ongoing Assessment

At the conclusion of a unit, we assess students’ knowledge in a post-test. We use this information to inform parents of their child’s achievements.

This pre-test data (the test taken before the unit has been taught) informs feedback to students, linking results to their student goals.

Students feel a sense of achievement knowing the accomplishments they have gained.

Differentiation

At Wattle Glen Primary School, we are committed to teaching a differentiated curriculum. This means that we assess students to find out what they already know and then focus on teaching them what they need to learn next.
