Maths inquiry planning

Today I have had a planning session to set goals for myself regarding maths. Here is the plan of what we have discussed. I will be focussing and reflecting on these specific things.

What new knowledge and/or capability do I need?
  • Talk moves- “agree/disagree”
  • Effective questioning- Specific questions
  • Group norms- co construct, sign, publish, refer to (have visible for each group)
Where can I go or who can I ask to help?
