Kereru Hub Teaching of Fractions

Kereru Hub have been consolidating their learning of fractions by teaching fellow students fraction concepts. This involved designing a 25 minute lesson in groups of two that they would teach to another group of learners (2 to 3). They received feedback from the learners after each lesson so they could go back and improve parts of their teaching.

Below are some photos and how they thought it impacted on their practice.

    Great work team. I love the idea of using those 'other' experts in class to further understanding. This is ako in action! You could turbo-charge this innovative idea by recording the lessons using Screencastify for further evidence and learning that can be re-played later. Ka rawe!

      Hi Mr Fourie. How are you? I liked what you said about our hub and our idea of getting students to teach other students. We like the idea of using screencastify and would appreciate it id you could more information about it on our site.

    Hi there Kereru Hub. I always find that having to teach someone about something helps me learn too. The picture is really interesting - Were the cones used in someway by you? It looks like there is a whole lot of thinking going on. Thanks for sharing on your blog. Two posts in June you are on a roll.

      Thanks Mr Winter, Those cones were part of a Cracker Jacks (student led)programme which also involved fractions. It was ordering them on a numberline. Some of us chose to include that in our lessons to make it more fun.

    Kia ora Tim and Kereru Hub,
    Great to see learners are finding teaching one another about fractions is worthwhile. I would love to see some examples of what the learners taught one another. Have the learners published this on their blogs?

      Thankyou,

      Great idea! Some of the digital plans are up under Week 8 on the Maths with Mr K and Mr S. We needed to check with our teachers to make sure that we were teaching the right stuff.
