D22 - (Year 5 to Year 10) Putting Rote Learning in its Place - Joseph Wrght

(Year 5 To Year 10)

Session Description

To thrive in the age of Artificial Intelligence, our students will need to be able to solve novel problems, think creatively and apply their learning in new ways. To do this they need to possess a range of lower-level fluency skills, which require a significant amount of repetition to master. This hands-on presentation will showcase a range of activities which develop basic mathematical skills, while at the same time providing a context where students can think creatively to apply these skills. Memorising a process alone (eg. how to multiply by numbers 1-10) is only truly helpful if students can transfer what they know about the numbers 1-10 to solve ANY multiplication problem. This session will provide activities that develop skill mastery and critical thinking. Activities that will inspires students to the point that they will want to continue the puzzles beyond the classroom.
