Another fruitful lessons we had on session two. We covered the lesson on the five key components ( generalization, communication, visualisation, number sense and metagcognition).
We also come up with a problem sum about John who spent 1/4 of his money on a gift and then he spent 1/3 of the remainder on a book . In this problem sum, it helps me to develop thinking skills as I was able to understand the idea of the problem and find the answer. It was really true that liking mathematics depends on the effective lecturer.
I have learnt a new mathematics term " subitize " which means something we just describe or unusual.
Another learning from session two was about the theory of Jerome Bruner.
C- oncrete
P- ictorial
A- abstract
This is what we called the CPA approach in learning . When we provide things like concrete materials , the children will be able to learn better by trial and error and has a deeper understanding how a certain things being arranged.
These are some of the interesting activities we did during session two.

It is important that in teaching math, teachers should show interesting topics that related to the lessons. Find alternative ways that will pick the interest of the students. Use methods that can easily understand them.
