Formulating my Hypothesis to improve teaching of Maths

Based on my previous TAI steps, I identified the following most important hunches for my inquiry:

I believe that 

- updating the maths programme to include all the effective elements of the maths programme (research based) 

- sharing and unpacking Term 1 testing results with our learners, 

- employing student agency - teaching students how to use self-assessment (matrices) to support their own learning, and

- collaborating with other teachers and sharing best practices 

will improve students' learning outcomes and enhance their learning experiences.

Reevaluating and adjusting my, my team's maths programme  to include all the effective elements of the maths programme (research based): number talk, targeted teaching sessions, teacher designed consolidation activities, independent activities and opportunities to apply their knowledge and create in maths (rich tasks and investigations).

By unpacking the term 1 results with students, educators can help them understand their strengths and weaknesses and take ownership of their learning. 

Taking a more data-driven approach by consistently using formative (and summative) assessment tools to inform our teaching.

Training students to self-assess using Maths Matrices to help them identify areas where they need additional support and extra practice. By providing students with the tools they need to support their own learning, educators can help to foster a sense of agency and responsibility in their students.

Teacher collaboration and data sharing are essential in Maths education. By working together and sharing data, educators can identify areas for improvement, set goals, create and share resources, and adjust their teaching practices to improve student outcomes.
