Formulating my Hypothesis

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 areas tested in the PAT, 

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

- 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.

Taking a more data-driven approach by updating the maths programme to align with the areas covered in the PAT can help to ensure that students are receiving instructions that are relevant to the assessment tool used to evaluate their learning. 

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

Teaching students how to use Maths Matrices should also 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.
