T1 W7-8 1E2

This class is currently learning Percentages. Most had done quite well in the previous 3 chapters' tests. As Percentage was covered in their Primary 6 syllabus, I was able to go quite fast with them. Just a few students had to be hand-held to do a few of the Try It! questions. I should be able to finish teaching the whole Chapter in the next lesson and also start on the next chapter which is Data Handling, and have them sit for a test, before they go for their OLE 1 in Week 10. In the weeks that I have taught them I discovered that they are intelligent (therefore I should stretch them further to raise their Maths ability), most are enthusiastic and eager to answer and show their working on the board while the quite ones sit and do their work quietly (I should ensure that everyone has a chance to answer and make the quiet ones present their answers more and perhaps increase their self-esteem?), they are hardworking ( i gave them a lot of homework questions and so far most have given me very satisfactory work on time. I just need to work on one student who forgets to bring his homework a lot and seems lost in class- I have already talked to the Form teacher and she has agreed to change his back seat to one in the front). Let's hope that with SMAPP in Term 2, I will be able to learn more about their strengths and weaknesses and hence how to help them in the future.
