What is involved?
- Attend 5 face to face sessions, where they will:
- Work collaboratively to explore pupils’ solution strategies
- Design/ adapt tasks to promote pupils’ problem solving flexibility
- Complete 1 pre-attendance task and 4 gap tasks.
- Participate in lesson study to develop pedagogical practices.
- Develop analogous reasoning with whole class
Benefits
- Pupils use analogous reasoning to to become more flexible problem-solvers.
- Teachers understand how to promote analogous reasoning using an online platform No More Marking to develop pupils’ problem-solving flexibility.
- Teachers will learn how to create a learning environment that develops pupils’ problem-solving flexibility using one-problem-multiple-strategies procedural variation tasks
- Teachers will develop knowledge to share with other colleagues for a school-wide approach
What is the cost?
The Developing Pupils’ Problem-Solving Flexibility in KS2/KS3 project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools/colleges.
