Term 1 Week 10 (Mon) - 3E3 A Maths Partial Fractions
Completed the chapter on Partial Fractions on Monday. One thing I found useful is to use Rozi's method of writing down the logical order of the specific lesson objective(s) on the right hand side of the whiteboard. Students find that they are able to get back on track with the lesson when their attention wander off. Will continue to use this method even though the worksheet already listed down all the lesson objectives. In this lesson, also asked the students to do additional practice using the assignment questions. Discovered that most of the students could not remember the 3 defined formats for Partial Fractions. Intereviewed the students and found that students have not been using their textbook for revision. They relied heavily on teacher's worksheet for their learning. Some students also have not copied down all the notes written on the whiteboard. This is not healthy. I have since asked the class to bring 4 things to class even though I will be giving them worksheets to do class work and assignment - Textbook, Worksheet, Written Notes and writing pad. Will closely monitor this in Term 2.

Hong Heng, you may want to go round to check what pupils have brought at the beginning of the lessons: textbook, notebook, etc. For those who did not bring any one of the required materials then you make them stand up for half or one period. Once in a while you may want to go round and check if they are copying down notes from the whiteboard.
