DMIC and inclusive practices for Maori, Pasifika and special needs learners

DMIC

Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities: learning mathematics together

“

• Substantial disparities in achievement

between ethnic groups

• 11% of Pasifika and 26% of Maori achieving

curriculum standards in maths at Year 8 (NMSSA)

Challenge the status quo about who can be successful in maths and what it means to do maths

Need to address deficit perceptions Teacher These children come to school with no maths. Student Being Samoan in the maths classroom makes me feel different cos Samoans don’t do maths. Principal All of those things that we probably thought that our kids couldn’t do but we weren’t giving them the

• pportunity to do

that.

Well connected rich mathematical thinking

Proficient use of mathematical practices Maths is about being able to explain how the answer has been arrived at, not just getting the answer.

Inquiry learning within mathematics Student centred curriculum and engaging students in investigating mathematics focused on real life learning.

Mixed ability grouping and group worthy problematic tasks

High expectations and inclusion

• Use inclusive language “show us”, “we want to

know”, “tell us”.

• Emphasise need for individual responsibility for

sense-making and collective responsibility for each

• ther

Culturally responsive teaching and learning

I

I agree because… / I disagree because… How do you know it works? Can you convince us? Why does that work like that? What about if you say… does that still work? I agree/disagree with the THINKING in that explanation because...? I know… so I think… So if we… I used… to represent my thinking. So if you say… Because… What about if… Would that be easier? Tell us what you are thinking/ more about your thinking when you say that. I can’t make sense of that. Say more I don’t think that’s right because… Who can say that again? Who can put that into their own words? Can anyone repeat what they heard (name) say? Tell us what your partner said. What is your evidence? How did you get that answer? What convinced you that was the right answer? Why did you think that strategy would work? Can you prove that? What makes you think that? Who can add on? What do other people think about that? Does anyone have a different way of looking at it? Does that make sense to you? Why? Does anyone have more evidence?
