WEEK 9 (18/7 - 22/7) PREPPING FOR MSSD & SECOND OBSERVATION

 

Aside from academic lessons, this week I have been busied prepping for MAJLIS SUKAN SEKOLAH DAERAH (2022), for MRSM Taiping Football team. Words cannot describe how stressful this week has been, juggling my classes and managing the necessary documents and materials for next week tournament. However, the things that worries me the most is the second observation by my mentor, Madam Sa'adah.

 

Activities this week.

The lesson and revisions conducted in this week are:

FORM 4: This week we start learning new topic, Chapter 10 (INDEX NUMBERS). Due to its short contents, the chapter have already finished in just a week lesson.

For this topic, it is related to economic educations, and I have been using examples from few suitable products, such as MCD, STARBUCKS, relating the topics with the things that these youngsters can relate to.

The STRENGTH of my approach is it gave clear visions on the things they studied.

but the apparent WEAKNESS is a handful of the students cannot even visualize the concepts even with the examples, some of them seems aren’t familiar with it. Which leads me to find the most common products that can help them visualize it, such as bottled water.

OPPORTUNITY that can be seen is for them to get immerse in actual economic products or goods and relate it mathematical concepts.

Whereas the THREAT is students too eager in giving their products examples and making it harder to entertain each of its.

 

FORM 5: This week we are starting Topic 6 (RATIOS AND GRAPHS OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONSEMENT), focusing on 6.1 (THE VALUE OF SINE, COSINE AND TANGENT FOR ANGLE BETWEEN 0 AND 360).

Same as previous topic for the 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. Having iPad sure makes the learning process easier as students can engage in the discovery activities much easier.

The STRENGTH of my approach is student able to get clearer comprehension on the concept of references angle.

but the apparent WEAKNESS is there are few of them that is not tech savvy, causing their partner to do the jobs for them.

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 the same as last week, 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.

 

Aside from the academic lessons, I have been managing the school MSSD FOOTBALL team for the competition next week. Last Friday, I have taken the initiative to arrange friendly match between MRSM Taiping and SMK Tengku Menteri, hoping it can serve as experience for the athletes before the actual games. Alhamdulillah MRSM Taiping have won the match by 4 – 0.


Alhamdulillah, Madam Sa'adah general feedback on the second observation are much higher compared to the first one. Utilising EDAPP as teaching tool, and putting attention to my mistakes during the first observation, the second observation finished with positive note.
