+Food for thought…
“If young people are to become more powerful citizens with full control over their lives then they need to be able to reason mathematically – to think logically, compare numbers, analyze evidence and reason with numbers.”
Steen 1997
“Successful mathematical users size up situations and adapt and apply mathematical methods, using them flexibly”
Boaler 2009

+“Children need to solve ill-structured problems, to ask many forms of questions, to draw and visualise maths and to use, adapt and apply methods.”
Boaler 2009
Does our current practice allow this to occur?

+Inspiring Mathematics
Head teacher Jolie Kirby stressed the importance of male and female role models, including teachers and outside speakers to inspire the students. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25243274

+Estimation?“Estimation is the most useful mathematical activity”
Cockcroft Report (1982)

+Estimation – Narrow the range
Lowest number that it could be?Highest number that it could be?Use to make a more accurate estimate…

+Real world maths V school maths
“One clear difference between the work of mathematicians and school children is that mathematicians work on long and complicated problems that involve combining many areas of mathematics. This stands in stark contrast to the short questions that fill the hours of maths classes and that involve the repetition of isolated procedures.”
Boaler 2009

+The flexible mathematician
Do we see our children use such approaches?Under pressure?

+The new curriculum?
Paper 1: Arithmetic30 marks
Paper 2 and 3:“assess pupils ability to solve problems and reason…”“contain a mixture of contextualised and context-free questions, and real life and abstract problems” – 80 Marks
“Pupils will not be allowed to use calculators in any part of the mathematics test.”

+Collaboration
Advantages:
Learn from one another’s work
Increase the quality of ideas
Sharing the ‘eureka’ moment of problem solving
![Page 29: + Pupil Engagement in Maths Jeavon Leonard – Portswood Primary School Benn Lee – St Mary’s CE Primary School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b484eb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
+Collaboration
Students need to talk through methods to understand if they really understand them or not.
“Explaining them to somebody else is the best way to know whether they really understand.”
“It is very hard to reason about mathematics when working in silence. Students who learn to reason and to justify their solutions are also learning that mathematics is about making sense.”
“Talking is critical in mathematics if we are to give children the depth of understanding that they need.”
Boaler 2009

+How We Attacked it
We gathered our resources calculators and information about iPhones.
We started noting down all the information we needed
how many iPhones were sold a their screen sizes.
When we did all of this we started multiplying for the area.
![Page 31: + Pupil Engagement in Maths Jeavon Leonard – Portswood Primary School Benn Lee – St Mary’s CE Primary School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b484eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
+How We Attacked it
Doing this challenge changed how we saw maths;
our maths wasn’t boring it was real. We used to see maths as something we had to do
and something we could not avoid. However when we investigated the challenge we
saw maths as art.
As a 4 man team, including Mr. Lee, we completed this prodigious task which changed our lives. After the task we were pleased that Mr. Lee told us we were going to do more challenges like this.
![Page 32: + Pupil Engagement in Maths Jeavon Leonard – Portswood Primary School Benn Lee – St Mary’s CE Primary School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e525503460f94b484eb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
+How We Attacked it
We had to use all our maths skills: multiplying, dividing, adding, subtracting, area knowledge, conversion skills and teamwork.
We also used advices teachers had given to us over the years. And our general knowledge, we even tried to compare the iPhone tower to famous buildings

+Collaboration and reflection
Abdul, Basit and I worked together as a group to complete this task.
We used different methods to check our answers, and we planned how we were going to do this challenge.
All of us discussed what we had to do, so we shared our roles.
We always worked as a team, if one of us made a mistake, we would help each other to get back on track.
Team work is the key to progress!

+Being pushed
We had to work really hard and continue to every day
Mr. Lee would not accept any answer; we had to try every possible way and refine our process
We have to follow the process We learn about a concept, then prove it, then reflect
Lots of people had high-expectation of us
We were poked and prodded so we elevated!
