Student 1: Thank you.
(During the seatwork)
Student 3: Sir, is it possible that the answer is thousands like that.
Teacher: Did you check your answer by re-computing it?

a bigger world into the real field where they can encounter different people,

scenarios, problems and environment. All the knowledge that they acquire will help them to
become globally competent and competitive problem solvers.

What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society?
The application of the problems they encountered. The interactions they had with the
professionals. The values they learned. Respect, cooperation and harmonious relationship etc.
thats it. In classroom the abstract concepts while in society the application of the abstract
concepts.
