MIT2021 - Project Data Collection

Now that I have identified my challenge, I have started to collect some data from my Year 7/8 students to help guide my project. This data will help to identify the gaps and and the specific challenges my students have within maths. I collected the following data;

  • PAT Data
  • GloSS Data
  • Maths Knowledge Assessment (SFOA Progressions specific)
  • Student and teacher voice
  • I looked into our SFOA mathematics digital progressions\
PAT Data
                                      
This data shows our Year 7/8 PAT data - students that were above or below the national average.  

                                              
Within this PAT Data, I looked specifically into the goals that aligned with maths knowledge. I identified what elements of maths knowledge our students struggled with. 

Student and Teacher Voice



From this data I had the following wonderings and reflections; 

Wonderings
  • Teachers lack of understanding of the goals - not sure or wanting to 'tick' it off based off their understanding of the goal. 
  • Huge discrepancies between level 3 and 4 digital progressions. 
  • Variances in different knowledge data - some goals stronger than others. 
  • Basic facts data - concerning, especially in relation to maths strategy. 
  • A lot of our students don't like learning about  proportions and ratios - the data shows a lack of understanding around basic fraction understanding - could this contribute?
Reflections
  • Maths team - I have recently joined the school maths team. We are looking into how maths is taught across the school and what needs to change/what we need to look into and research. Some of the elements of our school wide maths that we are diving into includes; the consistency of maths teaching across hubs, the digital learning progressions and possible tools we can integrate into our maths i.e. DIMIC. 
  • I think my plans are realistic - I would like to do something for the year 5/6 team and year 7/8, but I'm not sure if this is realistic enough for this year. could just trial within year 7/8?
