S2 maths – Decimals
I am disappointed at myself here. I am relying far too heavily on getting the pupils to solve problems from the text-book. WHile this suits a few of them (the top fliers) others become distracted quickly and their pace of work falls. So I end up with a few pupils finishing whole exercises from the book and others barely starting.
Solutions? More active learning. Discuss with other teachers strategies for teaching individual topics. Remember that you are a probationer and other people will know how to do this better than you.
S3 – Review quiz on graphs
I forgot that last week because of an assembly, we did not cover the mean mode and median. So the pupils had no idea what to do on those questions.
I think that there must be a load of fun things I could do with the mode mean and median – lies with statistics etc. Hmm… thinking caps need digging out.
