SIXTH WEEK OF TP-15/09/08

I am using real money as my teaching materials
I am helping the students to do their classwork in Primary 2A

Salam and Hello,

today is my sixth week of teaching practice and I am still teaching money to the students. From my teaching, there are many slow learners in Primary 2A about more than 50%. It took me more than half an hour just to make them understand. That is why most of them, couldn't finish the work given on time. I am trying my best to manage my time, even in my lesson plan, I did manage the time for each stages. BUT the difficulty is when you are handling a hard situation where there ara many slow learners than the fast learners. I could say there are only about 3 pupils categorised as fast learners in Primary 2A. I have to explain to them in slow pace in order to make them understand and keep focusing.

I am using the real coins just to show the diffence between one cent and five cents

Diiferent case in Primary 2C because there are many fast rners than slow learners and some of them are also categorized as average learner but still, not bad at all. I am enjoying and having fun myself when teaching this class. They respond me faster than as I expected actually. Most of them are very good students. It only took me about 15 minutes to explain to them and then, they will understand the lesson that I taught.They will move on doing their work and what I got from them was really amazing. Means that, they understand what ever I am teaching them. But most of them confuse writing cents. For example, Thirty-two dollars and nine cents. The answer should be $32.09 BUT most of them wrote down $32.9. SO, I have to explain to them, how to write it correctly.

This is one of a fast learner in Prmary 2C, his name is Syazwan.
