Student Voice (Google Classroom) Feedback on "Flipped" Maths this week..

This week I created 13 videos on Bruce's TOP key Maths areas.  I also created follow up practice tasks for children to practice.

I gave time to the children to view the Key Learning areas and then when they felt ready and able to do a follow up activity they could - If they needed help at any stage they could re-watch the video and/or come to a teacher for that 1 on 1 support.

Order of (journey) implementation:

1.  What do my learners need to learn?

2. Create video lessons on the each key learning area and model the exact way in which Bruce suggests they be taught initially.

3. Create follow up tasks based on the learning intentions in the videos.

4. Create a 1 step plan page for the class for quick and easy access

5. Push it our via Google Classroom

Observations in the first 2 days:

• WOW - Kids focussed and all on different individual learning tasks.
• Greater understanding  - eg: Nisha told me she understood it as she watched it twice.
• Honesty about gaps and LESS STRESS:  eg: Alexie came up to me and told me she had difficulty with a multiplication/measurement tasks and that she was just going to go back and rewatch the video - she returned and said she understands now and she solved it independently.  This is a huge step for Alexie!
• I was able to work with 2 larger groups leaving Sophie to work with the Fraction Foxes who needed additional support with fractions.
• Gaps are being filled and also appearing - But we have the plan to fill them with individual workshops!
• Some student message in the 1st 2 days!
