During these two sessions, I have learnt so much more about whole numbers and fractions. I have learnt how I could teach the concept of whole numbers by paying attention to the four big ideas in whole numbers.
To my amazement, whole numbers is actually a very interesting topic to teach and learn about. I realised that my pedagogy for teaching the concept of whole numbers could be improved on tremendously with the knowledge gained from yesterday's class. I am inspired by the open ended activities presented to us in class and I have come up with some ideas of activities that I could present to young children in my Math classes.
I find myself getting excited about teaching Maths to my children and students. I might even stretch my capacity to teach Maths by teaching primary school maths. I am slowly seeing the importance of Maths in the development of young children as the process of learning Math would craft their thinking skills for future use in their education journey.
For today's lesson (18/7), I have learnt that brain development is dependent on muscular development. The more a child engages in physical play during his infant and toddler years, the better his brain muscles develops. I am really intrigued by this fact and further convinced that play is indeed crucial and effective in a child's development!
This module is rekindling my love for Maths and I look forward to every lesson as I never fail to go home with powerful insights!
