E18 - THIS SESSION IS FULL (Year 7 to Year 10) Puzzles, problems and tricks of the trade to engage students.
(Year 7 To Year 10)
Session Description
It’s not always easy to captivate kids in the mathematics classroom, but with some carefully crafted activities it is possible to get kids talking about the joys of mathematics that will allow teachers unique access to student thinking. This session will run through 8 of my favourite activities that I have accumulated over the past 30+ years of teaching secondary students in classroom settings. These activities have been chosen as they allow students to explore mathematics and make decisions and discoveries with the teacher acting as a facilitator. Participants will be guided through the activities at an easy pace, accessible to all. Handouts will be provided so the material can be used in classes on Monday morning. Please bring a calculator if you have one with you and an inquisitive mind.
Key takeaways:
1. A set of 8 problems/puzzles with solutions that can be used in a variety of class settings.
2. Strategies and approaches that will allow for student engagement in mathematics at a variety of levels.
Remember: Bring a pen/pencil, calculator (any type) but most importantly an inquisitive mind!
