Y1 mastery planning for White Rose Maths Summer Block 1 Multiplication and Division week 2

Hello. I realised I kind of have mini chilli-style challenges but that wasn't a conscious decision. Sometimes I encourage/suggest that my children, if they're feeling confident/green (in the green zone) that they move quickly to the challenge or straight away if it's something like using a number line to solve calculations. I use probing questions for all during the whole class sessions but will ask more 'what if', 'why do you think that?', 'how do/did you know that/work it out?' style questions when I can see/hear my high attainers have already seen the pattern or grasped the idea. I also then keep a check on them and make sure they take on the extra green challenge if they're secure with the key ideas from the main part of the lesson. For the slower graspers I provide more adult support rather than easier work. The NC says that the majority of children should broadly move along together, which is what I try to do. So I differentiate by support, questioning, strategies used, and deeper tasks, which I make sure they all have opportunity to experience by discussing at the end or beginning of the lesson. I am trying to incorporate more open-ended, more than one solution problem solving into each week to boost my children's using and applying abilities. We've only just completed week 1 and they were so much better at having a go with session 4 after session 5. It was really great. I hope answers your question a bit. If you want to know more message me on facebook or reply on here.

Thank you.<br />
