Mathematics Programs that cater for all students | FREE TEACHER RESOURCES

Hi everyone, and welcome to my new video on programming for mathematics. I'm going to show you how I program so that I'm catering for all of the abilities in my class, especially because I've got a Stage 2 class, so it's across, across Year 3 and 4. So I'll show you how I do that now. So I'm going to share my screen. So I plan with my stage, and we have a Google Drive where we put in all our resources and programs, et cetera. So this is our math folder, and we have all of our topics ready to go. And within the math folder, so for example, yeah, last week we did patterns in algebra. So in our folder, we have a program, we have our pretest, we have exit slips, we have activities specifically linked to the goals, and also we have resources that are linked to, yeah, linked to the program as well. So that's like any activities, any games, any worksheets, and anything that, yeah, that links to the goals. And if you would like a copy of my pre-tests and exit slips, I'll show you where they are. I will also link the programs that I have in the description box below as well so that you can also have a copy and you can, yeah, you can tweak it to your students, to your school and their needs, and etc. And yeah, and if you would like a copy of the pre-tests that I have as well, I've updated this video on assessing students without marking, and I've just put it in the description box below. So I've added some more links into, yeah, of the assessments that I do have, and I'll keep on updating that as well so that, you know, if you want more copies of it, then I can put the links in there. And for the exit slips, I've also updated the description for this video, Tracking Student Progress, and it's just in the description box underneath the video. And I've just put in some more exit slips in there as well if you would like to Yeah, if you'd like to use them. And if you want any resources for your math learning wall, then they're all in the description box underneath my video on math learning walls. So I'm gonna show you my program, and I just wanted to tell you like why I program this way. So yeah, the reason why I do that is because then the resources are specifically linked to the goals that I've taken from the syllabus. And then I have a whole bank full of videos, online activities, games, worksheets that all just link towards that goal, which means that they're all ready to go. And all I have to do is just find out where my students are at. And then I can cater for, yeah, cater for all of those abilities. Because then when I find out through the pretest, then I'll be able to see what goal they need to work on. And I will know what resources I need to provide for them. Yeah, to help them achieve that goal as well. So I use this program yeah, depending on the student's needs. And in my next video, I'll talk about, you know, how I run a mathematics session and what it looks like. Yeah, how I use the program, what it looks like in the classroom, and how I run the session so that it effectively differentiates and that I'm making sure that I'm catering for all of the individual needs of Yeah, because sometimes, you know, kids in my class, there might be a whole group of them that have like the same goal, or there might be individual kids who have a different goal towards, yeah, opposed with other kids. It just depends on where they are at. And I don't want to hold them back if they need to be extended or if there's something or if there's a gap and they need to work on that. But I'll explain that all. In the, yeah, in the next video as well. So today I'm going to show you my programs that I have, and I will also give you links as well so that you can download these free resources in the description box as well. So just gonna get out of this, and I will show you the program that I was using. So last week we did patterns in algebra. So this is what our program looks like. So we just got all the outcomes in here. So I've got goals 1 all the way to 10, and they're color-coded. So all of the green goals are Year 3, all of the blue goals are Year 4, and also I realized that a few of my, yeah, quite a few of my Year 4s needed to be extended, so I just added on some Year 5 goals as well in there too. So, also at the end of Year 4, I also try to put in some open-ended tasks or investigations or mini projects that they can do so that they can apply what they've learned into, yeah, into that. So this is what it looks like. So it's got the goal there and it's also, I've just put the content descriptor in there so that we know where it's come from. And I've also summarized the goal as well because I do, yeah, I do want kids to know what goal they are on and be able to articulate it too, especially because I get them to write and articulate what they've been learning and how they've been successful in their learning journals. So, yeah, so I've just summarized the goal so that kids can, you know, remember what their goals are and be able to communicate it back to their parents and be able to, yeah, understand what they're trying to learn. So when we are programming, we will find as many resources as we can that links to that goal. So, for example, we might find like videos, we might find PowerPoints, etc., and we'll just put the links in here. Obviously, we don't have to use them all, but it's just in there ready to go if we need it. And if there are kids who are, you know, on the goal by themselves and they're pretty independent, then I, I'll be more than happy to send them off to watch some videos. And if they still don't get it, then obviously I want to go over it with them. But it's all here in the program. So we've got some interactive online activities and also some worksheets or active— or tasks in here as well that directly link with that goal, and I'll just show you what that looks like. So when we program, we tend to, yeah, make sure that we're just programming for the goals. So in our resources folder, we usually have like a whole stack of resources in there. And when I was programming for this, I put all of the activities into one PDF so that it was easier for us to, yeah, to have a look at. So, yeah, so Goal 1 was on number patterns. So I just put together some worksheets that will help consolidate that. Et cetera, and then just put in goal 2. So as you can see, a lot of these are— so that's from Twinkl, and then this is from Teach Starter. So I just used a whole range of, yeah, places to find resources to put together. Yeah, as long as they meet that goal, then I'm happy to put that in. So this is kind of what it looks like. Then different goals, match what, etc. So we're very selective on what activities, what resources we give, because it has to link to that goal or whatever goal it is. And then, so that's patterns and algebra. I'll show you some other ones as well. So I've got an addition and subtraction one. That's all of the syllabus outcomes, etc. And then we split them up. So for example, goal 1 is all the mental, yeah, the mental strategies, like for example, jump strategy and split strategy. And we, I did program this when COVID was happening as well. So that's why we've put quite a few links so that kids could also access it and do it at home, depending on what their goal was, so that they could work on it and still be differentiated. So yeah, so we split goal 1 into 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, et cetera. And then we've put all the other ones in there. And then this was a big one as well for you for doing formal written algorithms. So I split it into addition without trading, with trading, and then, yeah, subtraction with and without trading, etc. Yeah, so all of these resources are under each goal so that it's there. Oh, and I just wanted to show you at the Usually at the end of our programs, we have like a blank template here so that we can copy and paste all of our students in so that we can track, do whole class tracking as well. Yeah, and then we can find out who's, who's on what goal, who needs to work on what, and then from the exit slip, we can see who's been able to achieve what goal and then we can tick it off. But yeah, I'll explain a lot more of that in my next video when I go through how we do it. Oh yeah, we did this multiplication division one during the COVID Yeah, COVID as well, which is why it's got heaps of videos and links. That's there. So it's very comprehensive. There's lots of, lots of resources. This was length that we did earlier. On. So yeah, obviously there will be some things that I can't share, like these worksheets that we've put together, because it is from Twinkl and Teach Starter and etc., and you need a paid subscription to that. But I can share with you the programs that we've put together, and then you can either find the resources or put in your own or tweak it or Yeah, so that will be in the description box below. And if you want any updates on any new resources that I put in, because I want to update it as we go because we're always making new resources and updating our programs and putting more in. So if you would like to know when I have updated that, then Join my mailing list on my blog and I will show you what that looks like. So this is my blog. And if you scroll right down to the bottom, then this is where you can put your email in and then I can email you when I have new resources that have been uploaded as well. And also, if you do want to see like a math session in action and you want to see how it all works and how I differentiate and how, yeah, and if you want to see the kids being, you know, self-directed learners and they're so motivated, etc., yeah, then you can request a school visit and you can contact me at misswinitang@gmail.com as well. And yeah, put in a request for a school visit and I'd be happy to give you a tour and show you what it looks like. In action and in the classroom as well. Yeah, so I've got some other videos for teachers, if you didn't know already. Also some videos for kids and a whole bunch of resources ready to go for persuasive writing. Video for parents. And yeah, and anyway, I hope that was helpful to you, and thank you very much for watching. And make sure that you subscribe. I'm @misswinitang on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. And I will just stop sharing so that I can say goodbye. And thank you for listening and thank you if you've made it all the way to the end. And I hope that all of these resources have been helpful to you. And anyway, have a good weekend or week or whatever it is. And I will see you in my next video. Alright, bye.
