Great to 'see' you #EduSkyAU

I think it may be the more suitable approach in maths as you need to have a very specific mathematical goal for a lesson to be effective for all students. Free inquiry can be supported in students who have the aptitude and motivation to go beyond the classroom - most likely gifted. #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU loved it. Thanks everyone for your thoughtful comments!

#EduSkyAU I used that term to match the image Adam shared. I use a single problem that all students work on. Those who can't get started are provided with an enabling prompt and those who eat it up get an extending prompt. Peter Sullivan's work on challenging tasks.

Mentors matter the most. That's one of the big pieces coming through in my research #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU A6. I tend only to use structured inquiry. The key is in picking the task. The mathematics needed to access the task must be knowledge that all students have, otherwise it creates inequity and unproductive frustration. There can be mathematics to find in the task, but we have to start even

The question is missing! #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU The Five Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions by Smith and Stein

#EduSkyAU There are different levels. But I'm saying I even see value in lessons from programs/books that tell teachers what to say, what question to ask. Good explanations and questions are hard to develop. You can learn them, then use these parts in your own lessons.

#EduSkyAU open-ended problems and collaborative problem-solving are the big ones for me. They are powerful when led by a highly knowledgeable teacher who can highlight the key mathematics through orchestrating discussion after exploration.

#EduSkyAU fully agree!

Thanks! Yes I know Jo, but no the others. #EduSkyAU

This is an interesting. I even think scripted lessons can have a powerful place in all this. Following a script is the most efficient way for me to do something in a way that is totally different to my usual patterns. This opens up new ways of teaching / seeing / explaining. #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU my current research (for my PhD) is on how primary teachers overcome their maths teaching anxiety

#EduSkyAU that sounds great!

#EduSkyAU And I fully believe they have their place. It can be overwhelming to a teacher to figure out all of the content, sequencing, explanations from scratch. Have a starting point, but be encouraged to deviate once you have the confidence.

#EduSkyAU Yes, it requires a great deal of skill to lead the inquiry parts effectively. In mathematical terms, unless you've explored and solved the problem yourself thoroughly you'll end up blind leading the blind. I think is why they packaged programs can be so appealing.

Great - I love to use the "Which one doesn't belong" starter. When every answer is correct, but only with a good reason, we emphasise reasoning over 'getting it right' #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAu these are great shares, Maree!

also have you checked out AAMT's recent position paper? #EduSkyAU

Maths is my thing too! When do you think each one works for building confidence?

Too true. Education is such a target for politicians. And there's a lot of political involvement in this very issue I've raised right now.

Amazing responses everyone! I've been able to join back on, so will engage with the conversation. But best if Adam keeps posting given my unreliable situation. #EduSkyAU
