Professor Nishimura from Gakugei University and Dr. Aoyama, from Aichi Education University in Japan visited Harris Academy Beckenham to observe a selection of Mathematics lessons in KS3 and KS5.
Both Professor Nishimura and Dr Aoyama are experts in lesson study and using problem solving in Mathematics lessons. They are involved in lesson study, curriculum development and the use of problem solving as a key feature in a Mathematics lesson.
The visiting professors commented on how enthusiastic the students were about their learning and the excellent relationships that staff have with their classes. A particular highlight was Mr Gopaul’s lesson. All observers were all impressed with his linking of mathematical strands when explaining to the students.
The delegates are keen to continue building relationships with Harris Beckenham staff and Mathematics teachers across the Federation.
