How the visualiser was used?

The benefits of the Visualiser to teaching & learning in this lesson: • Pupils were involved in a physical activity to support their learning • Pupils could alter the number of people to make the numbers on each deck match by moving people • Being able to see the problem in a physical sense helped the pupils understand the concept of doubles and near doubles • All pupils could clearly see the problem • No shadows when pupils approached IWB • All pupils engaged in discussion and problem solving re doubles, near doubles, totals etc
