The question one asks is, \u201cWhy do we have such festivals and are they necessary?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">For me, it allows me, as a teacher, to question the teaching of maths in my classroom and whether change is needed. Was it a waste of time or was it just \u201cticking the boxes\u201d?<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">Teacher\u2019s observation:<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">\u201cDuring the week did I see mood changes during the lessons? Yes, and they were positive, why? The teaching methods and the approach to the lessons were different so the question is, \u201cDid the young mathematicians learn anything?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">There was more enthusiasm and interaction. I welcome that but I would never get through the curriculum during the academic year if such activities are introduced in many of the lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">Yes, that may be the case that certain topics would only be skimped over but if you did finish the curriculum were the pupils \u201cwith you all the way\u201d? This could be judged by the commitment and the behaviour in the classroom<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">My observation:<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">Maths learning is a cognitive process and the less recording done the better which leads to an improvement of the numerical skills of young people. Much of the typical maths lesson is more of a handwriting exercise or filling in the boxes. Doing practical work through puzzling, conundrums and apparatus is more effective.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">The more oral work and puzzling will help children who have problems like dyslexia. The pupils may not complete the puzzle but what effective processing did they experience, were they committed, did they feel they failed?<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">This is a wonderful debate and if anybody would like to discuss my thoughts do feel free to contact me.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\"><strong>Resources for homework \/ \u201cwet\u201d breaks \/ enjoyment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"color: #222222;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal;text-align: left;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;line-height: 150%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dcbeagle.com\/bogglebooklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #007C89;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\">Number Boggle<\/a> \u2013 a great way to develop addition and subtraction skills.<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dcbeagle.com\/Make%2024%20v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #007C89;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\">Make 24 <\/a>\u2013 four values are given and using them all, and any of the basic operations, the solution has to be 24.
