Grow our Math Brain

 To help grow our brains, we need to be asking questions and use productive struggle.

What do you notice? What do you wonder? 

These two questions are a great place to start and as students answer, ask what else soliciting other answers from other students. 

3 Act Task such as a Video, create a provocation, giving students the chance to notice to wonder even question.

Progress Tools Ministry have created to help the Learning Progression. or the PaCT - Progress and Consistency Tool.

There are 8 Aspects of the Maths Framework:

1. Additive Thinking
2. Multiplicative Thinking
3. Patterns and Relationships
4. Using symbols and expressions to think mathematically
5. Geometric Thinking
6. Measurement Sense
7. Statistical Investigations
8. Interpreting Statistical and Chance Situations

The Framework clarifies expectations in Mathematics to help stop negative talk. I can't do it Yet! Using complex problems we are encouraging students to take risks.

The Reader and Writer who is struggling, we look at the student not just what they produce to help them accelerate. So we need to know how a mathematician operates.
