Tia Langston received feedback from Lynette Kaeding on her lesson teaching maths on mental and decimal skills to a Year 5 class. The summary is:
1) Tia effectively managed student behavior by having them promptly settle into mental math tasks and circulating to ensure all students were on task.
2) She prepared students well for a brief math test and clearly explained test expectations.
3) Tia provided an efficient reminder that the test was to determine prior knowledge and where to begin instruction in the unit.

What went well? (link to APST graduate level where appropriate)
Students came in from recess and settled promptly into mental maths You circulated well to ensure that everyone was on task and receiving help in a timely manner Mental math marking was quick and efficient You prepared students well for the brief math test Good discussion of test requirement expectations – no looking at other student’s test, silent work, when students finish they must turn their test sheet over and silently read. Efficiently reminded students that it was a pre-test so they needed to try hard but not be concerned with the scores as this was to determine their prior knowledge and where to begin the unit. Good transition to preparing to go to the computer room
