Your on-demand teaching assistant for all things spatial in mathematics! Tailored especially for Irish post-primary teachers, this bespoke GPT can help you to:
- Design Lesson Plans & Tasks
Generate ready-to-use sample tasks and full lesson outlines—from 1st-Year Junior Cycle through to 6th-Year Leaving Certificate (Higher & Ordinary level). - Integrate Spatial Pedagogies
Get step-by-step guidance on using Roche’s Spatial PCK framework: schematic representations, spatial language, gesture, manipulatives (physical & digital), visualisation exercises, boardwork strategies, and more. - Curate & Adapt Resources
Discover the best digital tools (GeoGebra, PolyPad, virtual geoboards, algebra-tile apps) and physical manipulatives (unifix cubes, linking cubes, geoboards) for each topic. Ask for direct links and classroom-tested activity ideas. - Align with the Irish Curriculum
All suggestions are mapped to Junior Cycle statements of learning and Leaving Certificate syllabus topics—ensuring relevance and smoother planning. - Plan Formative & Summative Assessments
Ask for quick formative checks, spatial sketch prompts, or exemplar exam-style questions that probe students’ spatial reasoning. - Support Professional Development
Learn how to run a spatially-focused Lesson Study cycle, reflect on student thinking, and deepen your own Spatial PCK.
