Beginning our Collaborative Inquiry

This year as a school we are looking at trends across the school and within teams and have come up with some "wonderings" to help guide what out team inquiry will be.

Data shows needs are:

• Counting 0-100  100-0 = ordering numbers
• Subtraction, Mult/div
• Interpreting the problem
• Attention deficit - hard to stay on task, independent

Wonderings

• How can more practice in counting be used to strengthen strategy
• How do we make the link between number story and written/oral problem
• How do we let our kids know what they know and when to use it?
• How do we deal with focus issues/ independent groups AND teach.
• Daily five with literacy in Annie’s class has been working quite well.  5 things to do 15 minutes each (picture prompts).  All 5 must be completed in the timeframe: self, buddy, write, listening post, eggs.  
• Perhaps a maths daily 3 might also work?  

          1. Counting,             2. Problem solving and or writing      3. Basic facts

          What activities can we come up with that encourage these?
