Dialogue and discussion
Using planned opportunities for focused talk, teachers develop an understanding of children’s thought processes and ideas.
Problem solving
Planned opportunities for children to apply their learning, pose further questions and develop and test hypotheses.
Use of symbols, images and models
Planned opportunities for visualisation and representation to secure and aid understanding.
Inductive learning/enquiry
Planned opportunities for pupils to sort, classify and re-sort data to begin to make hypotheses that can be tested in future work.

Brilliant, I have made a mistake, now I am really going to learn something
Aims:
To be resilient to failure because we know we can learn from our mistakes
To know that the more effort we put in, the more likely we are to succeed at something

Using other knowledge to help us to solve the problem
Using trial and improvement
Adapt someone else’s strategy
Working with each other to discuss possibilities
