PL reflection on EOY results

The 5 students who were chosen to be the Priority Learners for my Inquiry focus group on Maths have made significant improvement in their basic facts knowledge since Term 2. The results are as follows: Child A: Term 2 JAM to Term 4 JAM went from Early Year 2 to Late Yr 2, Child B: Term 2 JAM to Term 4 JAM went from Late Yr 1 to Late Yr 2, Child C: Term 2 JAM to Term 4 went from Late Yr 1 to Late Yr 2, Child D: Term 2 JAM to Term 4 JAM went from Late Yr 1 to Late Yr 2 and finally Child E: Term 2 JAM to Term 4 JAM went from Late Yr 1 to Late Yr 2. This means that 4/5 students progressed a year level in their maths learning since the beginning of this year. I am really proud of these children's achievments and their overall progress. They have gained confidence in maths and learnt new strategies to work out maths problems such as addition, subtraction, place value, equal sharing, fractions, skip counting and number knowledge. This was due to a combination of basic facts practice (having a solid foundation) and weekly practical activities using resources and working in pairs to learn about different maths topics in each term of the year.
