1 P1 Parents’ Briefing Mathematics 4 February 2012 Activity- based Learning Experiential Learning Mrs Choy Cheng Cheng

2 Overview Math Programme Types of Assessment How Parents Can Help

3 Integrated Curriculum Classroom-based Learning ~ Grouping Ability & Mixed Ability ~ Activities Use of manipulatives Experiential Purposeful Outdoor Lessons / Learning Journeys ~ Authentic Situation ~ Relevant ~ Experiential

4 “ Piaget’s Theory of Development” - Concrete Operations (6/7 to 11/12 years) - Formal Operations (11/12 to adult) P Pictorial A Abstract C Concrete

5 E.g. 12 + 5 = ____ C

6 P Pictorial

7 P

8 Abstract A 8 + 7 = 15

11 Math Programme: Outdoor Lesson Primary 1: Trip to Supermarket

12 NO Practice Papers and Semestral Assessments Checkpoints - topical - practical Assessment

Semester 1

14 Assessment: Practical Tests Rationale To make use of concrete materials as part of problem-solving processes To apply mathematical concepts/skills through hands-on activities independently To make learning of mathematics fun, meaningful & relevant To check for mastery of learning outcomes using different modes of assessments

15 Topics: Practical Tests Shapes and Patterns Length Mass Assessment

16 Sample of Year-end Report on each Primary 1 pupil’s performance Able to understand & apply concepts Better set aside more time for regular revision Close supervision is needed A: Able to understand & apply concepts (minimal errors) B: Able to understand & apply concepts (some errors) C: Able to understand & apply concepts (a lot of errors) D: Unable to understand & apply concepts

17 How Parents Can Help Be able to write numerals as shown: l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0

18 Reinforce class teaching Reinforce class teaching Similar methodology/ strategies Similar methodology/ strategies Always clarify with teachers Always clarify with teachers How Parents Can Help
