This week I was looking at the maths tumble and how the teacher transitions from one group to the next.
While the teacher was with the math group he monitored the whole class and gave praise where necessary.
When the teacher has finished with his group he sets them another task and sends them away with their follow up.
He gets his next group, sits down and sets the scenario for the learning. Giving the learning a context has allowed the children to make a connection to the task and they are much more engaged.
When sending them away with their follow up he keeps the context in place, "you have one more job. As a post-man you need to figure out....."
From this observation I have noticed that having a context can still be done through a group lesson when learning strategies.
I will attempt to make context with in my guided group session while learning strategy.
