Day 6

Today was the last session of the module. Since the session was in the morning, I felt more alert and relaxed today. Dr Yeap covered quite a number of things today which included problems, ways to provide instructions to children, what to consider when planning a lesson and how graphs could be used and taught to children.

 

Today is the last session of the module.Dr Yeap started off the session by showing us a video of his Primary 1 class having a Math lesson. It was fun and informative watching him tech the primary level students. I observed how lively and interactive his class was. It gave me a good opportunity to learn a few things that he portrayed as a teacher. He allowed children to visualize better, gave children opportunities to practice what they have learnt and provided differentiated instructions for slow, normal and advanced learners. He also shared that he would show or model first, scaffold, then let children work on their own when teaching concepts (scaffolding, enrichment).

 

The highlight of today was in order to show our appreciation to Dr Yeap, we gave him a jar of cookieswith a problem to solve! It was an interesting way to sum up the whole session! Thought this idea was creative. Of course as a wonderful math teacher as he is, he had to pose back the problem to us and taught us the many ways to solve the math problems!. What an enriching moment.

;)

Thank you Dr Yeap! You are inspring! Keep shining.
