What do you do when your year 6 students won't stop making paper planes & throwing them at each others faces? You turn it into a MATHS LESSON! Yes, it is a worksheet, but the kids absolutely loved it, and were really engaged! #acuedu_p
Great teachers know they're teaching kids first, then content. The needs of the students come first, then the curriculum. The best lessons your students will learn in school probably won't be found in textbooks, they will come from your example. #edchat#FutureDriven
Time can be a difficult topic for many students. Even for me it was difficult, especially having a brother in the army who always uses 24 hour time🙄😅This resource would be a great addition into the maths cabinet-you can even use whiteboard marker on the flash cards!⏰ #acusdu_p
Interesting behaviour management in Stage 3 for a very sports orientated class. If students reach MVP on the peg chart, they take 2 3 point shots at the end. If score successfully, they’re rewarded with 5 mins extra lunch tomorrow. Worked a treat! #acuedu_p
Kudos to all my uni friends that have made it to the end of our first semester of our final year, where we have been balancing studying with teaching and maybe even a second job. It can be overwhelming at times, but how good is teaching?!💁🏻♀️💃🏼🎉 #acuedu_p
@NiddrieJack@Davo452 The kids you will teach have no idea what’s in your lesson plan, so if something isn’t working and you have to change it/improvise on the go, don’t stress. The kids are excited to have a new face in the class, anyway!
Chance and probability in year 6 🎲 We made a visual posted note line ranging from Certain to Impossible. Students chose events and placed them along the line! Such a great hands on activity and made it easier for them to understand 💁🏼♀️ #acuedu_p
I was writing in a student’s communication diary on a Friday afternoon, advising their parent that they have head lice. It was the most tedious thing😅 Communicating with parents is a major key 🔑 and you don’t want them offside🤷🏽♀️ #acuedu_p
Pumped and nervous to start my new part time contract next week. Undertaking programming for the first time isn’t as daunting with all the practice ACU has facilitated🙌🏻 #acuedu_p
I'm a big fan of Project Based Learning! It really engages students in authentic learning (progressing towards higher order thinking skills) & encourages them to make a difference in their school or community! I'll definitely be implementing this spectrum!🍎📚 #cantwait#acuedu_p https://t.co/cYiD03BmcS
