Direct Instruction: DMiC Maths
The learning intention for this lesson was for learners to work collaboratively, share their mathematical thinking and find different ways to solve the problem.
This is our school's second year of implementing DMiC Maths (Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities). It is a problem solving based approach and learners are grouped according to mixed ability.
The video shows a guided Maths session with 8 children in a group. They are grouped according to mixed abilities. I have them working in pairs because we are still setting up the group norms and culture. I find this method easier to manage, especially when working with the juniors. This may change as during the course year.
