How can pupil voice work in maths? Here’s a few ideas:
- Open-ended problem-solving tasks: Provide students with open-ended tasks that allow them to approach the problem in their own way and express their own mathematical thinking. Encourage students to share their strategies and solutions with others, creating a classroom culture of collaboration and discussion.
- Math journals: Encourage students to keep maths journals where they can reflect on their learning, ask questions, and share their own ideas and insights. Provide opportunities for students to share their journal entries with others, fostering a sense of community and collective learning.
- Student-led math games and activities: Give students the opportunity to design and lead their own maths games and activities. This will allow them to explore mathematical concepts in a fun and engaging way while also promoting their leadership and collaboration skills.
