Week 4 - Pictures of Time
My group lesson went really well with the class next door today. The students had to look at pictures taken at different times of the day around Perth and try to use clues in the images to say what time of day it was. Lots of the students found it quite easy once they knew that they were looking at Perth.
Perhaps the most educational part of the day took place in the afternoon. All of the prac students (there are five of us altogether, counting the ones from Notre Dame) got together with Talia* to go have a look at how to use some of the First Steps assessment and reporting tools. These tools are really user friendly and look to be extremely helpful for comparing student progress in Mathematics. The assessment tools not only provide a good rubric for reporting progress, but also have a strong diagnostic focus.
After showing us some of the tools she uses for assessment, Talia took us all over to the Mathematics storeroom, gave us a tour and showed us exactly how to go about borrowing things. I think this storeroom is the most well organised one I've seen, and the best thing is, it's right next door to my classroom! Very easy access!
