8 February 2024

Kickstarting topics with Matt Woodfine

“How we introduce new topics” and in particular the following areas:

  • Discussion ways of introducing a topic – e.g. look at the end result, current research, contextualised problem, a look at how what we know so far doesn’t match the end result of our lesson so something needs to change
  • Use of starter activities to steer the learning
  • Worked example pairs
  • Worked example animations
  •  A look at goal free problems
  • Backward problems
  • True or false
  • Mini white board activities
  • Misconceptions
  • Building confidence with initial activities

The main body of the talk will be on the example pair generator and all the weird and wonderful things that you can do to support students of all abilities. All resources for the session will be the freely accessible activities from https://mathswhiteboard.com.

When: Thursday 8th February

Time: 16:00 - 17:00
