If you were a student at this school and did everything you were expected to do what you would you know and be able to do in relation to problem solving in maths?

Common Themes
We would be learning to... ​
-To use Newman's Prompts to solve maths word problems
-To use and apply a range of strategies for different operations
-To show their thinking and explain their reasoning using the language of maths 
- To apply the most efficient strategy and justify this choice
- To focus on the process rather than the 'correct answer' 
- To revoice/rephrase or add on to the reasoning of other students
- To be OK with making mistakes 
- To 



What we wonder...
- Are students working on problems together, or are they only ever working independently? 
-Will we continue using NPs across different strands? 
-Will we apply this process to authentic problems (eg PBL related)? 
-If students have the strategies to deal with other strands? 
-How many student are familiar with talk moves? 
-What materials do we need to have available (for other strands as well, eg volume etc? 



What we as a staff want to learnt next
- Incorporating talk moves into our programs & lesson 
-The best way to ensure the L.O., Ess Q & Success Criteria are displayed throughout the whole lesson to be referred to at different points (when on IWB we move on to a new slide, could we go back to using the L.O boards? ) 
-Extending/working with more able students?
-Investigate 'flipped classroom' (both extending and building) 
​-Peer tutoring
