Background:
Previously GO for teaching and The Wong Teacher posted about their Reciprocal Maths idea. After a number of weeks gradually introducing the context, then the skills, the process has turned out well on at least a surface level.
Issue:
With any new technology or development, the first pass is always improved on. The Reciprocal Maths idea is no different. Several areas for improvement were found.
While the reciprocal reading concept of continual cycles for each section works for texts, it doesn't work for maths problems which tend to be only one or two sentences that need to be comprehended then acted upon. Reworking the roles with a single cycle in mind resulted in many consequent changes including altering the roles, the flow, and the example questions.
Fix:
Two of the most critical changes relate to clarifying when events happen in the cycle. Those changes were adding a "solve" step into the cycle and grouping the Questioner with the Comprehender and Clarifier is meant to clarify when they are needed.
Sentence prompts were another part adjusted.
