Today I observed Tynan’s Year 10 Maths session.

Today, the session focused on solving quadratic equations and learning how to write quadratic equations in standard form. Tynan encouraged the student to take the lead by working through the problems independently, which helped build confidence and problem-solving skills. While the student was working, Tynan provided guidance where necessary, offering prompts and clarifying any misconceptions without giving away the full solution. This approach allowed the student to actively engage with the material and develop their own strategies for tackling quadratic problems. Once the student completed the questions, Tynan and his student reviewed the solutions together in detail. During this review, Tynan highlighted the key steps, reinforced important concepts, and corrected any errors, ensuring that the student fully understood the process. This balance of independent practice followed by guided feedback helped strengthen the student’s understanding of quadratics and supported their overall learning progress.

Overall a great session to observe.
