Y5T2L2 Learning to reflect

Today we will be focusing on what makes a useful reflection.

In this lesson we will be thinking about what we have learned from ReflectED so far, and how we can make sure our reflections are useful and help us make progress. Look at the learning behaviours on the next few slides, for each one tell your partner the answer to the following question. Have you got better at this skill? How has ReflectED helped you with this?

ADD YOUR OWN EXAMPLES OF REFLECTIONS.

I thought I was green but I got three wrong I thought I was green but I got three wrong. When I looked at my mistakes I realised I wasn’t lining up my tens and my hundreds properly. Next time I will be careful when writing the sums.

I am still yellow because I find answering word problems hard I am still yellow because I find answering word problems hard. I don’t understand what I need to do and if I’m adding or taking away. Next time I need to ask the teacher or my partner to help me to understand the question.
