DMIC Maths

Learning Hub Rua have integrated DMIC (Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities) into their everyday Maths program. It is a program that has been introduced school-wide at JBS and it has been a steady start for both teachers and students. We are on a learning journey at the bottom of the Learning Pit and are coming to grips with how DMIC will work for all students. Lifts in student achievement have been part of the success of DMIC at other schools, but the more important focus has been on other valued outcomes including an increase in student voice and agency, increased pro-social skills through Whakawhanaungatanga, enhanced mathematical dispositions and the valuing of the mathematics within the home and cultural context. We are looking forward to growing our maths knowledge and enhancing student agency through DMIC this year.
