SECOND WEEK OF TP-18/08/08

Assalamualaikum and hello ppl,
today is my second week of TP. Well, I just observed my co-operative teacher teaching. Topic for today is on MULTIPLICATION. That was for their revision since they are going to have an assessment test this coming Saturday, 23/08/08. I have learnt something from my observation today. I was really amazed about The Magic In Maths which covered the multiplication 9. It is one of the hardest one amongst all. By using the MAGIC, a 3 years old girl also can manage to answer.

For the first 10 mins of the period, the teacher didn't allow the students to sit before they answering some of the questions on multiplication 3 and 4. I saw that they were using their fingers to count. Some of them were really good and could answer it correctly. Then, she explained to the students about the SKIP COUNTING. She drew fingers on the whiteboard, teach them what is the simplest way to remember the multiplication 3 and 4. It was an effective way to teach the students about multiplications. Adawiyah, is one of the weakest student but yet she could answer it correctly.

The teacher asked the students the verbal multiplications, if they can answer it correctly, then they can have a seat.
The teacher is explaining the SKIP COUNTING using the fingers.
The teacher is drawing three lines in each finger for multiplication 3.

For the activity, the teacher gave the students paper which had pictures of fingers. They answered the questions individually and most of them got it done correctly.
