Teaching Observation

Dinah and the other Skyscraper teachers observed me taking a Maths problem solving session with my 'Einsteins'. Dinah had a really good suggestion - of getting the kids to think of their answer and hold out a certain number of fingers behind their back and then bring their hands forward at the same time. This worked pretty well - but clearly only suited to numbers less than 10. More recently I've really worked to try to get students to feel secure enough to say their answer even when it is different from the others'.
