What is Flipped Classroom? Students watch a *video explaining a particular topic or concept at home and then come to school prepared to complete worksheets related to the video or discuss the topic in class *Length of Video(s) should not exceed 15 mins

3 tips to flipping the classroom successfully 1.Choose a topic/concept that can be explained in 15 mins or less 2.Use the increased classroom time to engage students (in-class discussion, cooperative learning etc…) [Students should not be left to their own devices…] 3.Do not expect to flip every topic [Start small…]

An example For Sec 4 Double Angle, students are asked to watch 2 videos at home, each about 8 mins long. First video shows the derivation of the double angle formulae Second video shows some examples of how the formulae can be applied The next lesson, students come back to class and teacher conducts a short discussion with the students to recap the double angle formulae. Hopefully students can recall from watching the video. (~ 5 mins) Then, students are given a worksheet, in which they have to derive the formulae, and solve questions similar to the examples shown in the video. They can work in pairs – cooperative learning (~20 mins) Finally, with some guidance from the teacher, students can move on to prove identities and solve equations using double angle formulae. (~ 30 mins)

Suggested topics that can be flipped Level / TermTerm 1Term 2Term 3 Sec 1Standard Form, Reciprocals Change subject of formula, Factorisation by Common Factor Pythagoras Theorem, Mensuration (Area & Volume) Sec 2Factorisation by Difference of 2 Squares, Add/Subtract algebraic fractions Line & Rotational Symmetries, Congruency (SSS, SAS, AAS, RHS), Alternate Segment Theorem Angle of Elevation & Depression Sec 3Quadratic Formula, Quadratic Inequalities, Identities Indices, Surds, Sine Rule, Cosine Rule, Area of Triangle Coordinate Geometry (Distance, Mid-point formulae) Sec 4Double Angle, LimitsDifferentiation (Chain Rule / Product Rule / Quotient Rule) Partial Fractions, Probability, Kinematics

Objectives of Department Action Plan Collection of resources – no work is lost Good work/best practices can be shared / adapted for own use We want you to develop your ICT skills too!

Department Action Plan - Clarifications No. of weeks of ICT lessons conducted by each teacher At least 1 week per term (Term 1-3) Guideline: 3 hours / term [individual] To be monitored by Tham SW (Sec 1), Colin Toh (Sec 2), Gwee HN (Sec 3), Ang CC (Sec 4) Can be HBL/flipped classrooms/ blended learning/ICT Teachers can collaborate to share resources but resources should be individually customised to meet their students’ needs If resources are wholly done by 1 teacher, it cannot be counted towards your 3 hours if you duplicate and use wholesale The same lesson conducted for multiple classes count as 1 only
