http://andreasteachingjourney.blogspot.co.nz/2017/01/teacher-only-week-242526-jan.html Bruce Moody Maths observations and feedback:  of him and him of me	I have enjoyed the continuation of my teacher inquiry into maths. I am enjoying teaching maths much more this year using a new approach with problem-solving and number talks as a warm-up. I am more aware of my learner's needs and trying to find time to write these down, as well as behaviours so I can build a fuller picture of each child. I enjoy any PD and are always reflecting on what I have learnt, taking what I want to try into my classroom. The Oral language Workshop in June was really beneficial and I have implemented some great ideas, such as more of a think, pair, share culture and playing barrier games to grow the student's positional language and sentence length when speaking. They also provide opportunities to develop receptive (understanding) and expressive (speaking) communication skills. Personal learning goals: Continue to shift my maths planning to a more problem-solving approach when groups are rotated to me and use the problem for the week or longer. Take tips from Bruce Moody’s PD and use them actively in my teaching. Continue to build number sense in my students through maths talk and contextual problem solving Noting down maths behaviours as well as strategies.	Your maths Teaching Inquiry is underway and you have introduced number talks with the children as well as a contextual problem-solving approach. You may want to add in the focus learning needs alongside the data based on your initial class observations. I would encourage you to be noting behaviours as well as knowledge notes during maths tasks.  You are an active participant in all Professional Learning opportunities and your classroom planning shows the implementation of ideas from this.
