Trosolwg
Mae tasgau Mynediad Isel, Nenfwd Uchel (LFHC) yn cael eu cydnabod yn gynyddol fel dull effeithiol o sicrhau bod pob dysgwr yn gallu cael mynediad at ddysgu mathemategol cyfoethog tra’n dal i brofi her ac ymestyn priodol. Wedi’u gwreiddio mewn ymchwil ar feddwl mathemategol, datrys problemau, metawybyddiaeth ac addysgeg gynhwysol, mae dulliau LFHC yn darparu mannau cychwyn hygyrch tra’n galluogi dysgwyr i archwilio syniadau mathemategol cynyddol soffistigedig.Bydd y sesiwn dysgu proffesiynol hon yn archwilio’r ymchwil a’r rhesymeg sy’n sail i ddulliau LFHC ac yn ystyried sut y gall tasgau o ansawdd uchel hyrwyddo rhesymu, trafod, gwydnwch a dealltwriaeth gysyniadol ddofn. Bydd cyfranogwyr yn archwilio rôl adnoddau NRICH wrth gefnogi dysgu mathemategol cyfoethog ac yn ystyried sut y gall strwythurau gwers effeithiol helpu athrawon i hwyluso archwilio, trafod a datblygu dealltwriaeth fathemategol yn yr ystafell ddosbarth.Drwy enghreifftiau ymarferol a gweithgareddau cydweithredol, bydd cyfranogwyr yn dadansoddi gwahanol fathau o broblemau mathemategol, yn gwerthuso eu haddasrwydd ar gyfer dysgu LFHC, ac yn archwilio sut y gall deallusrwydd artiffisial gefnogi dylunio ac addasu tasgau sy’n darparu her ystyrlon i bob dysgwr.
Cynulleidfa Darged
Athrawon mathemateg cynradd ac uwchradd, arweinwyr rhifedd, arweinwyr cwricwlwm ac ymarferwyr sy’n dymuno datblygu dulliau mwy cynhwysol o her a gwahaniaethu mewn mathemateg. Mae’r cwrs yn addas ar gyfer athrawon sy’n awyddus i gryfhau sgiliau rhesymu, gwydnwch, annibyniaeth a datrys problemau dysgwyr drwy dasgau mathemategol cyfoethog.
Amcanion y Sesiwn
Erbyn diwedd y sesiwn bydd cyfranogwyr yn gallu:
Deall datblygiad ac ymchwil sy’n sail i’r dull Mynediad Isel, Nenfwd Uchel (LFHC).
Archwilio sut y gall adnoddau NRICH gefnogi dylunio profiadau dysgu mathemategol cyfoethog.
Nodi nodweddion tasgau sy’n hyrwyddo rhesymu, trafod, gwydnwch a meddwl mathemategol dwfn.
Archwilio strwythurau gwers effeithiol ar gyfer gweithredu dulliau LFHC yn yr ystafell ddosbarth.
Gwerthuso gwahanol fathau o broblemau mathemategol a’u haddasrwydd ar gyfer dysgu LFHC.
Datblygu strategaethau i sicrhau mynediad, her a chyfranogiad ystyrlon i bob dysgwr.
Archwilio sut y gellir defnyddio deallusrwydd artiffisial i gefnogi cynllunio a dylunio tasgau.
Overview
Low Floor, High Ceiling (LFHC) tasks are increasingly recognised as an effective way of ensuring that all learners can access rich mathematical learning while still experiencing appropriate challenge and stretch. Rooted in research on mathematical thinking, problem solving, metacognition and inclusive pedagogy, LFHC approaches provide accessible starting points whilst enabling learners to explore increasingly sophisticated mathematical ideas.This professional learning session explores the research and rationale underpinning LFHC approaches and examines how high-quality tasks can promote reasoning, discussion, resilience and deep conceptual understanding. Participants will explore the role of NRICH resources in supporting rich mathematical learning and consider how effective lesson structures can help teachers facilitate exploration, discussion and mathematical sense-making in the classroom.Through practical examples and collaborative activities, participants will analyse different types of mathematical problems, evaluate their suitability for LFHC learning, and explore how artificial intelligence can support the design and adaptation of tasks that provide meaningful challenge for all learners.
Target Audience
Primary and secondary mathematics teachers, numeracy leaders, curriculum leaders and practitioners seeking to develop more inclusive approaches to challenge and differentiation in mathematics. The course is suitable for teachers who wish to strengthen learners’ reasoning, resilience, independence and problem-solving skills through rich mathematical tasks.
Session Aims
By the end of the session participants will:
Understand the development and research underpinning the Low Floor, High Ceiling (LFHC) approach.
Explore how NRICH resources can support the design of rich mathematical learning experiences.
Identify the characteristics of tasks that promote reasoning, discussion, resilience and deep mathematical thinking.
Examine effective lesson structures for implementing LFHC approaches in the classroom.
Evaluate different types of mathematical problems and their suitability for LFHC learning.
Develop strategies to ensure access, challenge and meaningful participation for all learners.
Explore how artificial intelligence can be used to support planning and task design.
