Belinda Naujok is an awesome NSW mathematics teacher who is now a convert of an approach that is highly-structured, conceptually-based and somewhat student-centred. She was especially impressed after seeing the effect this approach had on her struggling (bottom) Yr 10 mathematics class.
Video Timestamps: 1:15 Belinda’s reflection on the changes to her teaching 5:30 - This conceptually-based approach is ideal for ‘bottom’ classes (This is contrary to the common misconception that a student-centred, conceptually-based approach is only suitable for ‘top’ classes.) 11:20 - This conceptually-based, student-centric approach makes teaching easier, despite having students more widely spread throughout the unit of work. 13:00 - A conceptually-based, student-centric approach allows the teacher greater opportunity to assist students with greater needs. 15:30 - The importance of mini-lessons |
17:30 - The paradigm shift that is student-centredness; dealing with student spread.
20:00 - Contrary to what most teachers assume, working with a conceptually-based, (somewhat) student-centred approach - one that is well-structured - is no more time consuming than a conventional approach. In fact, it will often save you time. 23:00 - A roadmap is required to change from conventional procedurally-based teaching to this approach. 24:00 - Why completing the Engaged-Maths course first was an advantage to doing the Conceptual Coordinate Geometry course. 28:00 - This ‘low’ Yr 10 class, 4-weeks later, performed well in the yearly without revising! This speaks to the power of understanding. 30:00 - The downward trend Belinda has noticed with HSC results. |
