Streaming – Really?!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can call your bottom group the \u2018Good Looking Long Leaping Antelopes\u2019 or innocuous titles like Group G \u2013 you\u2019re absolutely not fooling anyone. The Long Leaping Good Looking Antelopes and the kids of Group G know who they are \u2013 they\u2019re the \u2018thickheads\u2019. We don\u2019t want to see them as that or for them to see themselves as that, but the point is THEY DO. They must laugh at the fact that we try to hide who they are. They know who they are, and it hurts \u2013 a lot.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rob shares his thoughts on streaming in classrooms and the negative\u00a0impact it has on students, and offers a more effective alternative that won’t leave your ‘Good Looking Long Leaping Antelopes’\u00a0stuck at the bottom of the class. The full article can be found\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Mental Computation and Auto Response – <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Same-Same or Different?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want students to be better at maths, ditch the flashcards and instead focus on their ability to think flexibly and apply mental computation strategies.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An article written by Rob and published by the Mathematical Association of Victoria in their journal ‘Prime Number’<\/em>. Rob discusses his approach to mental computation, and why many teachers set their students up to struggle with it by placing too much importance on rote-learning. A copy of the article is available here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.
