Synopsis
Are you teaching effectively? Do you use open-ended questions to differentiate your whole-class instruction? Following on from the keynote address, we will do hands-on tasks using The Bar Model Method to uncover important tools needed for your students to be problem solvers. This dynamic workshop will explore how concrete materials and mental computation strategies are effective ‘gizmos’ to have in your toolbox. Your toolbox will help you plan and deliver high-quality lessons that spark students desire to show you what they can do with what they know.

Description
- Mathematics building blocks for numeracy was a suite of online professional learning modules by the NSW Department of Education (NSW DoE).
- The modules provided PL around successful teaching practices and pedagogy based on current research. It was about pedagogy, not a teaching program.
- The six modules supported the NSW DoE numeracy initiatives:
Targeted Early Numeracy (TEN) – adapted from CMIT as a K-2 intervention initiative;
Count Me In Too Online (CMIT) – CMIT was created as a K-6 whole class initiative;
Taking Off With Numeracy (TOWN) – adapted from CMIT as a Y3-8 intervention initiative.
They were based on the Numeracy Continuum K-10 (NSW DET). - the assessment tools used were the four SENA assessment schedules.
