Distance Learning
In mathematics we are fortunate to have an online tool such as Hegarty maths so that we can keep a check on what students are completing on a day to day basis. We are setting work for the week and encouraging students to spread their work across the week as per their normal school timetable. I have been astonished by their results at the end of the first week; 31/32 students from a high ability group completed all 8 tasks to the desired standard. Most pleasing was the fact that a number of students had sent screenshots of their queries via email throughout the week and, with extra guidance, they were able to correct their errors. More of the students are watching the online videos too. We are following our normal SoW and I had been worried the topic may be too difficult (gradients of lines and y = mc + c) - I shouldn't have worried.
13/18 from a middle ability group also achieved the desired standard from their tasks. We are now pondering how we reach the small numbers that are not engaging with their work.
