1. Introduction: (How will I engage the learners?)
09:40 09:45 (5 mins).
A brief introduction of my background focusing on my
learning experience of mathematics in high school.
Give positive information regarding how many opportunities
are available if you become mathematically advanced in
Australia and in the world.
Clarify to students that I am not directly related to Bruce Lee
or Jet Li even though we seem to share the same family
Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change?
Why?
What didnt work so well:
Some students struggled to understand the formula derivation, as they are
weak in symbolic computation of algebra.
Students felt my content was too much to digest in one session.
Students felt my content is challenging in terms of the depth of the
knowledge (maybe a good thing to stretch their limit).
What did work so well:
Clear explanation of each concept.
Clear statement of each theorem, formulas and their conditions and
limitations.
Focus on full-length explanation of the symbols, denotation, unit and the
syntax.
Students acknowledged and appreciated the importance of explicit
instructions of each topic.
Raising the pitch and changing the tone of my voice to cope with disruptive
behaviour was not always effective.
What would you change? Why?
Reduction of the content density and intensity: it can be divided into half or
extended from half a lesson to a full lesson. Examples and self-practice can
be demonstrated on the following lesson.
Diverse classroom management strategies are required to deal with the
misbehaviours and noise in the classroom.
Real life examples such as using the bankruptcy risk to explain the concept
of interest rate showed a great engagement with students. It made them feel
the knowledge they learnt was quite useful in real life.
