Session Description

An important consideration in teaching challenging tasks is the intentional positioning of consolidating tasks, which give students opportunities to clarify thinking and build connections in the mathematics classroom. Our work in Brisbane Catholic Education primary schools supported the implementation of sequences of challenging tasks. Through this, we observed the impact of consolidating tasks on students’ learning outcomes, engagement, and self-efficacy, as well as on teachers’ reflective practice. In this session, we will share evidence of the impact of this work on student progress and discuss how this approach can build engagement in a primary Mathematics classroom.

Key takeaways:
1. How teachers are intentionally sequencing consolidating tasks for impact.
2. The challenges faced by teachers and how these are being overcome.
3. Reflections and learnings from teaching with consolidating tasks that maximise mathematical learning. Illustrations of impact will be shared.
