TEACHERS AS FACILITATORS - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Identify and recognise how mathematics can be used in real-life situations and contexts, enabling them to make connections between mathematics and the real world (a new skill to many students).
      - Undertake a range of mathematical operations, applications and processes including measuring, counting, estimating, calculating, drawing, modelling and discussing (the underlying mathematical skills and knowledge required to undertake the required investigations or tasks);
      - Reflect and think about the mathematics they have been using; that is, interpret the results and outcomes of the investigation they have undertaken, including how appropriately and accurately the results fit the situation (another new skill to many students)
      - Represent, communicate and discuss the results and outcomes of the use and application of mathematics in terms of their chosen investigation. This includes both written and oral skills and should incorporate the use of appropriate technologies.
- - - - The work on the investigation/project itself – the initial and ongoing main aim of the activity;
      - Choosing appropriate intervention times – the teaching and instruction of particular knowledge and skills; what is required to get the job done (for example, if the task requires measurements to be made, then an understanding of measurements and the metric system is fundamental knowledge to be taught)
      - Both whole group, small group and individual work on skills and practice on the underlying mathematics skills.
- - - - Help students move from being dependent to becoming more independent learners.
      - Being more of a facilitator, scaffolding the learning for the students. Activities and tasks may progress from being provided as small chunks and tasks to being given as larger tasks and projects.
      - Provide structured questions, tasks and information that would enable them to still solve the problem
      - Get students to work in small mixed ability groups, where the more capable students help and assist the less capable students
