THE PERFECT METHODS

LIFE IS GOOD FOR ONLY TWO THINGS,  DISCOVERING MATHEMATICS AND TEACHING MATHEMATICS.

My dream is to be a mathematics teacher.  I love mathematics since I was 14 years-old. Before this I hate mathematics just because of my former mathematics teacher. She was strict and I always get scolded by her. Once I move to form 3 which I was going to sit for PMR exam ( public exam ), I started to love mathematics just because of my polite teacher and I impressed the way she taught us. I started to do a lot of exercises.  So, I scored in exam.

                          

MATHEMATICS

As a teacher, I will choose cognitive methods to teach my students which helps them to a better understanding.

According to Howard Gardner identified seven intelligence which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform and understand in different ways. Which are :

1. Logical intelligence: Sudoku, and mind maps.
2. Visual/spatial intelligence: Reading diagrams and maps, jigsaw puzzles, pictures, videos, charts, graphs, diagrams, and art activities.
3. Bodily-kinetics intelligence: Touching, teaching Maths through sports, string art.
4. Naturalistic intelligence: Point out mathematical influences in nature.
5.  Musical/ rhythmical intelligence: Teaching Math using music.
6. Interpersonal and interpersonal intelligence: Creating statistic studies about their colleagues’ interests or hobbies, describing something from a numerical point of view.

Musical is one of the intelligence from the seven multiple intelligence which I love to use it. Please take a look at the video below.

I believe this method could help kids to remember the multiples. 

Moreover, I always believe in reciprocal teaching which is two way communications.  We as a teacher should give chance to our students to ask questions. So, it makes them to a better understanding. There are 4 learning strategies, which are predicting, clarifying, question generating and summarizing. 

As a teacher, I should not divide the students whether they are slow learner or fast learner. What i can do is to divide the both learners in one group which mix them while dividing them into groups. So, the fast leaner students can help the slow learners. I do not want to be a bias like my teachers in secondary school. I should teach them equally. Mathematics is for all.

MATHEMATICS IS FOR ALL.

MATHS IS A GAME PLAYED ACCORDING TO CERTAIN SIMPLE RULES WITH MEANINGLESS MARKS ON PAPER. – David Hilbert

I LOVE BLOGGING

WHAT IS BLOG???????

A blog  is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web. 

Based on today's experience on setting up a blogspot the lesson that can be learnt as a teacher,we can share our opinions. In the same time we can  get information from other blogspots which could help us to get more updates. Blogspot is important tool which provides information that helps students, solves their problems, and teaches them something beneficial. Inform them of happenings, news, or events in your community. “This is how we can help others”.Blogspot is something creative to convey our messages to the readers. it is creative as in readers can view pictures and videos. They help tell our story, enhance the layout, and hold our readers’ attention. They are interesting, entertaining, and pleasing to the eye. 

Besides that, it opens a new way for our students to communicate with other students as well as with teachers. It creates a social interaction between you and your students which helps the students to become comfortable in their learning environment, leading to student success. Studies show that students perform better when they are being student taught. When students use blogs for their writing assignments, it helps students create better writing skills and encourages students to collaborate about these topics. 

MY PHILOSOPHY

                                                                              

THE GOOD TEACHER MAKES THE POOR STUDENT GOOD & THE GOOD STUDENT SUPERIOR. - MARVA COLLINS

As a teacher, I have to be more patient and need to show my love to my students. As I know, most of the teachers like to divide the students into two groups slow learners and fast learner but for me it is nothing to do with the students study skills. I believe that every students have their own way to study and understanding. Students nowadays are attached to technologies. These makes them easier to gain information. As a teacher I have to teach them how to use the modern technologies. I do not want any of my student feeling down. I try my best to give more activities or explain them each and everything no matter how many times. I want my students always feel free to ask any questions to me. Basically, I do not believe on one way teaching, which the teacher only focus on teaching and not giving any chance to the students to participate in class. Student's participation is very important. So, as a teacher I have to do class activities regarding on subject to make them a better understanding. Apart from that, I would like to suggest to the teachers in school do not to be favoritism on students. I want all my students to success in their life.
