I supported a beginning teacher with her 5-6yo's
today, learning about measurement. She was with a small group while I supported the rest of the class measuring items in the room with tape measures.
All fully engaged, problem solving, calculating, predicting & checking.

These strat chats are great for helping people understand that there are many ways to solve problems. They also help us realise and use different strategies more efficiently ourselves in future problems, if we work on understanding what others have done.
That's how we try and teach 🙌

Today I helped a student calculate into negative numbers - her 1st time. We talked about cold mornings frosty grass being 1°C or zero, and how even colder was one use of negative numbers. I drew a number line and, hey presto, she solved 13-17 correctly. Woo-hoo 🙌
