Nothing extraordinary for this week, lessons are proceeding as planned,
kind of giving me the times to breathe, calm before the storm of next week.
Activities this week.
The lesson and revisions conducted in this week
are:
FORM 4: This week we proceed to finish up Chapter 3
(SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS), specifically 3.2 (SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS INVOLVING ONE
LINEAR EQUATION AND ONE NON-LINEAR EQUATION).
Same as the last week, I employ discovery learning
method by letting the students to attempt each question themselves and compared
their steps/solutions with their friends at the end of the sessions. As topic
3.2 is tad easier than 3.1 the student’s performance are generally better than
before
The STRENGTH of my approach is it encourages
experimenting mathematical steps for the students.
but the apparent WEAKNESS is a handful of the students
cannot get past on certain questions as they have low analytical skills,
requiring constant help from the teacher.
OPPORTUNITY that can be seen is for them to train their
analytical and deduction skills, as well encourage them to be more independent
in learnings.
Whereas the THREAT is discouragement from the length of
solutions by each student where some of them might get lower self-esteem when
comparing their solutions with the top performers.
FORM 5: This week we are continuing Topic 5.2 (ENLARGEMENT)
Same as last week, I have implemented learning through discovery. Using
the materials provided in QR code from the textbook, I instructed students to
pair up, and engage in discovery activity based on the GEOGEBRA materials. This
topic cannot be learned through chalk and talk as it require visual learnings
and thankfully MRSM Taiping is a SMART school, where every students have their
own iPad which makes our learning sessions easier.
The STRENGTH of my approach is student able to get clearer comprehension on the concept of enlargements
but the apparent WEAKNESS is there are few of them that
didn't participate much in the discussion during pairing.
OPPORTUNITY that can be seen is for them to get more interested
in discovering other mathematical concepts.
Whereas the THREAT is in the poor internet connection
in the class as the activity relied heavily with internet connections.
Co-curriculum activities this week.
Football club: This
week activities are futsal, giving the chances for students that didn’t have
the basic of football to get the feel of the game.
Police cadet: Managed
by others.
