For four hours a week I take a Cohort group
for Maths 'Maths Movers', which means our three grades (Sue’s, Carmen/Louie’s and mine) are
split into 3 new grades based on needs and abilities. Over the last few months
I have been playing with my Maths planning and planners using the basis of Daily
5. Last year Paula played around with this with our grade and I have taken it a
little further.

| Our classroom timetable, excuse the messing writing. I have taken out the students names. |
So I guess you could say I have Daily 4
Maths -
1.
Maths with Teacher – work with
me
2.
Maths with Someone – partner
work, such as a game
3.
Maths with Self – working on
fluency of numbers/counting or number recall
4.
Maths with ICT – playing a
maths game related to the topic
When I introduced the four tasks I referred
back to our Daily 5 Literacy. I still work on the principle of ‘whole-small-whole’,
starting the lesson with a short introduction, then going off and doing our
four tasks and ending with a reflection. In one session/hour I see each group
once. Our timetable is displayed in the classroom and the students are able to
independently follow along.
It is lovely how the students have taken to
this; I guess their experience with Daily 5 Literacy has really helped them
settle in and understand the process.

| Students brainstorm of what they know about Addition. |
My next step with my planning is to link
into the four strands of AusVELs Maths –
- - Problem Solving
- - Reasoning
- - Understanding
- - Fluency
through making these visible in my
planning, to my students via our Maths Timetable and making them aware of this
language.
I would love to know what your Maths lesson looks like.
