Staff Applied Math Bulletin Board Ideas

Set your student's up for success with this Learning Strategies Bundle. With Reading, Writing and Mathematics Strategies to assist with your students reading, writing and ability to work mathematically.

This Bundle is a great way to keep your student's focused and working towards a learning goal. They can also be used as a bulletin board display.

All Strategy Posters are made to match my Geometric Design theme, so you can create a stylish environment for your students to learn, grow and achieve.

Everything you need to incorporate the Mathematics Proficiencies into your classroom. Increase your students abilities to learn and work mathematically.

What's Included:

• Maths Proficiency Posters - Fluency, Understanding, Problem Solving and Reasoning
• Mathematics Proficiency Introduction - 12 Proficiency skills, 12 example questions and answers
• Maths Proficiency Verb Posters
• Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract Approach Posters

The Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract Approach is an effective teaching approach that helps to develop a deep and sustainable understanding of mathematics in students.

When integrated into your classroom it helps to build on your students existing understanding and making complex mathematical concepts accessible to all.

Concrete: refers to the 'doing' stage. Where students manipulate concrete materials to solve problems. This is the first stage of the approach or framework.

Pictorial: refers to the 'seeing' stage. Where students create visual presentations of the concrete objects that they have just used to model the problem. This allows students to make connections between the objects they have just used and the abstract pictures they have drawn.

Abstract: refers to the 'symbolic' stage. Where students use numbers and symbols to model a problem. This is the final stage to mastering a concept. Students will not move onto this stage if they do not have a solid understanding of the concrete and pictorial representations.

It is also important to go back and forth, continually practicing each stage to reinforce mathematical concepts.

These Maths proficiencies are fundamental to learning and working mathematically. They are embedded across all three strands of Mathematics; Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability.

I have created these resources to assist you in creating units of work with these proficiency goals in mind. They can be used as student goals or success criteria for your lessons.

What's Included:

Proficiency Posters - Broken down into 'I can' statements. Each with matching icons, to help to explain the proficiency goal.

Student goal cards - Colour-coded to match their associated proficiency.

Larger goal cards - Can be used as your unit focus and displayed on your board throughout your unit.
