Introduction

The MAT (Mathematics and Technology) sessions for Year 1 are designed to provide a comprehensive framework for teaching mathematics using technology in a fun and interactive way. This document outlines the rules and expectations to ensure a productive and engaging learning environment for all students involved.

Session Structure

Duration

Each MAT session will last 60 minutes. This duration includes a warm-up activity, main lesson, interactive segment, and wrap-up discussion.

Frequency

MAT sessions will occur twice a week on Monday and Wednesday.

Participation

Safety Guidelines

Students must follow all safety guidelines concerning digital device usage, including:

• Not sharing personal information online.
• Using devices according to provided instructions.

Learning Activities

Warm-Up Activities

Each session will begin with a fun warm-up activity related to the mathematic concepts being taught. This can include games, puzzles, or quick problem-solving challenges.

Interactive Segments

• Group activities will be incorporated, allowing students to work together to solve problems and explore mathematical concepts.
• Students should ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to discussions and tasks.

Homework and Practice

Assignments may be given to reinforce the concepts covered in class. Students are encouraged to complete homework promptly to aid their understanding of the material.

Assessment & Feedback

Continuous Assessment
