As part of Maths No Problem, children complete journaling tasks. These are a chance for them to consolidate, demonstrate or deepen their understanding of the objectives taught that lesson.

At Westwood, our journaling tasks fall into one of five areas: descriptive, evaluative, investigative, formative and creative. Examples of these can be seen below.

Descriptive

Pupils describe the methods they have used.

Evaluative

Pupils have to make and justify choices.

Investigative

Pupils record their findings after exploring a problem.

Formative

Pupils demonstrate understanding and progress.

Creative

Pupils are encouraged to develop their own methods/stories.
