Game of two halves today. Before lunch was not a great performance. As with my other classes, it takes a while to judge the pace of a new set and 7.3.1 is no exception. CRG has left me pretty much alone with them which I like but only if it's going well. Today's particular issue was inverse operations. I gave them some easy problems to work through but they managed to do them without actually inverting because they could "see" the answer. As soon as the problem got harder and they couldn't see the missing number, they didn't have a method to figure it out. And so we went on.....Catch 22
After lunch, 9.2.2 behaved themselves and I had a great lesson with 8.1.3 as they worked out the angle sum of polygons. They did all the work while I watched and learnt.
