This session had a good start for everyone as Dr. Yeap began the lesson with a magic tricks. The question is, Is it really a magic........ Oh! I was really glad to know this number trick that all you have to do is to look for the pattern to be able to guess the correct answer. I got 3 pegs on his first lesson as I am the one who found out the pattern hooray!!!!!!
In lesson 15, we covered a problem sum that taught different variation and a join situation. According to Zoltan Dienes
"Mathematics is not repetition they learn if you give them variation or the variant theory"
The next lesson which is lesson 16 was about naming the equal parts.
- I found out that the moment you have equal parts you can name the part.
- Being equal does not mean identical
- Fraction is a part of a whole
- Quantity is a part of a set.
- Same number can be named in different ways.
 |
| The moment you have equal part you can name it and this is one fourth. |
 |
| This shows an equal fraction |
 |
| This is an example of abstract |
Some Acronyms I encountered which is helpful for me in learning the Primary Singapore System..
SRT - School Readiness Test
LSM - Learning Support in Mathematics
LSP - Learning Support Program
Thank you Dr. Yeap for a wonderful experience I had during your lessons. How I wish all the teachers in Philippines will be like you to help the children be more confident, competent and energetic in answering Mathematics and I hope you will come to my country to train Mathematics teachers.
