This week I was focusing on Maths warm ups and how they are conducted in a Junior school setting.
There were a variety of strategies used such as counting in heads and identifying place value. There were also different stimulus for doing the activities such as character voicing's, getting children to help and the active board.
I did notice that the teacher scaffolds a lot more than we do in the middle school. This is something that I will take back to my class room. The only thing I am contending with is time and will discuss with my tutor teacher how I can implement more scaffolding without using up too much time.
Another thing that I would like to implement is the use of the active board. I do use it but I need to use it more. I will start building up a bank of flipchart warmups and headwork.
