Routines for Developing Oracy and Mathematical Reasoning
This 36-minute video explores how to develop reasoning throughout lessons for children in Y1-Y6. We consider routines for mass participation, how to design discussion tasks and techniques for reasoning within independent practice. Most of the examples used are from the I See Reasoning eBooks. With opportunities to pause and discuss, this video is ideal for a 60-75 minute staff meeting.
Teaching Children to Deconstruct Word Questions, Y2 - Y6
This 35-minute video examines how we can teach children to understand word questions. We consider the purpose of slowly revealing information. We see how double-sided counters and bar models can be used to represent questions. We consider the use of 'minimally different' questions. Examples from the Deconstructing Word Questions eBooks are shared. With time for discussion, this video is ideal for a 60-75 minute staff meeting.
Developing Sequences of Tasks to Build Children as Problem-Solvers
This 35-minute video explores how to build sequences of challenges in problem-solving in Y1-Y6. We consider how barriers to problem-solving can be addressed and how we can activate relevant prior knowledge. Then, we see how we can focus thinking on key aspects of problem and develop the challenge. A range of types of problems and tasks are used. With time for discussion, this video is ideal for a 60-75 minute staff meeting.
