Changed Focus

With a focus for our Math Focus Group based around growth mindset I feel it was important to focus around this as opposed to a flipped classroom, although this is still a feature in my math environment. I have presented some information with my developing understanding to the BoT and my peers. Although this is a new focus I have begun teaching the "Inspiration of Math" from Jo Boaler. Growth mindset is so powerful. I am very inspired to implement and make change within West Melton School. Once the Inspiration of Math weeks are over we plan on trialling "Thinking Blocks" to replace the basic facts testing that happens every week. This is based around seeing that the student can use strategies effectively to solve basic facts and not just memorize facts
