This term, I have focused on enhancing my guided lessons by integrating a variety of materials and visual aids tailored to each of my student maths groups. By incorporating images and hands-on tools, I’ve noticed students engaging more deeply with the concepts, as these strategies cater to different learning styles and make abstract ideas more accessible.
To reinforce prior learning and strengthen retention, I’ve introduced a section in our maths tumble called ‘Maintenance.’ This space is dedicated to revisiting previously covered concepts through targeted activities, ensuring students build a solid foundation and retain essential skills as they progress. These tasks are designed to be interactive and varied, encouraging students to independently recall and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
Additionally, I’ve been integrating various mathematical strategies into our lessons, encouraging students to explore multiple problem-solving approaches. This builds their confidence and develops their flexibility in thinking and problem-solving. For example, we’ve worked on using number lines, grouping strategies, and visual representations to deepen their understanding of addition and subtraction.
Seeing students embrace these strategies and make connections across different areas of mathematics has been incredibly rewarding. Moving forward, I plan to continue refining these approaches, incorporating student feedback to ensure the lessons are engaging, effective, and responsive to their needs.
