For this week, I continued on probability for 4E1 and 4E2.
4E2: 4E2 is a big class comprising 41 students. Initially I had difficulties managing this class because they are v TALKATIVE. They just cant seem to stop talking to their friends. Especially this group of boys and some of the girls. (Can i name names in this reflection? Haha.) I tried to make the lesson more interesting by showing them the 21 DVD and talking about counting cards and they still wasnt able to get them to be more attentive. Exasperated, I spoke to Mrs Tay , their form teacher regarding the background of the class. Through my conversation with her , I found out that the class chose their own seats and they are all seated next to their good friends.
Hence, I decided to do up my own seating arrangement for the class for Maths lesson. I identified the talkative ones and separated them. I also pulled out the weaker students, some of whom were sitting right at the back and made them sit in front. After that, there was an improvement! They were more attentive, and I could tell many of them were concentrating and doing seat work when I assigned it to them. Heartening to see the slight improvement.
4E1: 4E1 has changed a lot this yr! for the better :) I can safely say many of them are taking their studies more seriously esp. after I kept scaring them about the need to pass maths if they want to go jc, poly. Some of them are really weak, but at least their attitude is better than last year. I feel very happy when students like Dian get full marks for circles test. Heartening!!

Good steps taken to improve learning environment in 4E2 :)
ReplyDeleteWith such positive attitudes from pupils, I am sure they will be able to perform in their exams. Have confidence in them and let them know you believe that everyone of them can do well if they want it.
