Customizable Slide (pictures only): School may use pictures of their pupils. To help your child develop an understanding of Mathematical concepts, there will be many opportunities for him to work with real objects. The teachers will relate the concepts to everyday things around the children so that they see the relevance of mathematics in their daily lives. In this way, the learning of mathematics becomes meaningful for them. Your child will also learn to explain how he solves math problems.
Customizable Slide: School to show their assessment plan for Mathematics and insert relevant pictures. Teachers will observe how the pupils go about doing their work when they are engaged in an activity. Teachers can call on pupils to explain their thinking and reasoning. Through their explanation, teachers will get a better understanding of the pupils’ understanding and mastery. Teachers can also check on the pupils’ performance in the worksheet that accompanies the activity. Having a more accurate understanding of the pupils’ thinking and reasoning will help the teacher better address their learning difficulties or misconceptions.
