Manori

N1 Getting students to be precise and complete, and restating an argument

Manori works with the class on how to be precise when describing rotations. She elicits everything she needs from the class, and their physical involvement helps them work out what they need to know. She then recaps the whole discussion herself to emphasise the important points

N2 Working with different possibilities

The question of whether direction matters with a 180o turn has arisen from the questions. Manori deals with this through student contribution and questioning.

N3 How to use tracing paper as a tool

Manori discusses how a student used tracing paper to help him draw rotations. The discussion in this clip reveals that some students get help from each other and some are given direct instruction from the teacher. Manori differentiates the help she gives students so that they can all complete the same drawing task. The discussion focuses on ways of working as well as methods of using the paper.
