Maths Curriculum Day – March 23rd

On this day the staff of MPPS worked with Anna (our Top Ten Maths consultant).
he focus for the day was ‘Addition and Subtraction’. 
We learned about:

• connecting maths concepts to real life
• emphasising non-algorithm strategies like jump and split 
• using estimation and rounding as a strategy
• teaching alternative strategies that students can use depending on the equation and their own personal preferences

All this learning was done through the use of concrete materials and hands on tasks. 
Check out the teachers having fun learning!
