Assalamualaikum and Hello ppl,

today is my fifth week of TP . I am teaching a new topic on MEASUREMENT 2 and the sub-topic is MONEY. Before I start the lesson, I recap the last lesson on FRACTION.For the introduction, I introduced the students with the units of money which are DOLLAR ($) and CENTS. I wrote down the price on the whiteboard and I asked the students to read the price aloud. So far, they can read all the prices well. It was just a problem some of themwhen to use DOLLAR and DOLLARS. After that, I asked the pupils to spell the amount of money in words.

It took me more than 30 mins to explain to the Primary 2A because of there are many slow-learners in the class. They cannot finished allthe classwork given and it will be continue in the next lesson. It is a different case when I teach Primary 2C because they can understand it well and they spell the money in words correctly. Most of the students can finish their work BUT they have problems when they count the coins. To be frank, the workbook is not a good book for this topic. The picyture of the money is not really clear and people are confused with 0ne cent and 5 cents. I try to figure how to make them understand well about this topic.
