Welcome to my Blog!
I really hope you enjoy reading about my journey into teaching mathematics in a Grade 5 and Grade 6 classroom through an inquiry based approach. I have been playing with the idea for the last two years now and I have finally come to a place where I think I am ready to fully implement this into my math classroom.
So why a blog? I felt I needed a place where I could communicate my findings as I go and more importantly a place where I could reflect on the days/weeks activities. I also needed an informal avenue where others could make suggestions as to what went wrong in the lesson and/or what went right! I would also like to see the conversation about teaching this way open up where more teachers and educators start talking about the possibilities of going outside the box and daring to be different.
So let's begin!
Hi, I have found your blogs interesting and helpful. I too am teaching gr. 6, I am completing my master's degree and trying to make changes to my approach to teaching and assessing math... its a lot of work ( as you know). It's nice to be able to follow your journey. I get frustrated with the slow progress... and assessment, Oh boy! Well, I've learned that the forms I created don't work, so that's something... I look forward to your future blogs.
