"To develop thinking children we need thinking teachers"
A great opportunity to share and expand the subject knowledge and pedagogies that develop thinking children. 'Build- it, Say-it, Write-it'.
Starting with - How do we know how many edges there are on a circle?
Do all teachers have the subject knowledge to reason and if not how will be address this problem?
Reasoning and problem solving is a key mathematical skill we want children to develop - teachers need the opportunity to practise this themselves.
Children need the opportunity to work with tasks that encourage the development of mental images that support recall and help develop reasoning skills - this can be done through the use of manipulatives.
