Direct Instruction
To finish off our measurement unit, we learnt about direction/orientation.
The video shows our initial discussion about orientation, where I was checking the prior knowledge of the students.
The focus of this lesson was to try and get students to be able to make statements about how two things are related to each other (E.g. Point England school is to the North of Tamaki Primary School).
Then had a create task, where students responded to each others creation via blog commenting (this was also another way for me to check students understanding).
