Reflection (Group A)

The tutorial lessons are varied and interesting unlike our 'student' days when we dragged ourselves to Math classes. As we go through each lesson, we can see that there are different materials to help us introduce Maths topics to the students.

In Ratio and Proportion topic, for example we can use newspaper articles showing football penalty statistics to set questions for students to apply ratio. We can use YouTube video to show them the famous Golden Ratio and task them to measure the span of their hand against the forearm to see who is the 'golden' child.

In Algebra, we can use alge-disc, alge-tile to show the operation and factorisation of Algebra expression. And use Beam-balance to show the 'balancing' in Algebra equations.

Going through these exercises brings 'life' into the subject and make us think of how other resources can be incorporated into our classroom lesson to make it fun and meaningful.
