Reflections on Expositional Teaching

Realised through the expositional teachining review that teaching of the right concepts is of paramount importance in the teaching of mathematics. While creativity is welcomed in the presenting of concepts to our students, it should be properly thought through to ensure that teachers not do it at the expense of contradicting basic concepts.

Even last week's lecture has emphasised the point that even if one is using direct instruction to teach, the key thing is to teach the 'right thing', the key concepts, the fundamentals must be communicated through to the class so that there would not be any misconcepts that students need to unlearn as they progress through the lesson.
