Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Think-pair-share, Talk for Learning, and Building on what others say. Learning Experience: Learners in pairs solve simultaneous equations. Activity 1: Learners, in pairs, recall how to solve simultaneous equations and create and pose problems in simultaneous equations for other groups to solve. Activity 2: Learners in pairs recall how to find derivatives of functions and create and pose problems in derivates. Teaching and Learning Resources: - SHS Curriculum, Graph boards, mathematical set, ICT tools Assessment (3.2.1.AS.9). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 1 Recall.
