Last session for EDU 330

31st  August 2011

This was the  last day of  our  Mathematics  module.  I  felt  very satisfied  with my  lecturer and  I believe that not  only me  who  gave  an outstanding mark on the evaluation.  After  this  module, I  found myself very poor  in analyzing  some  problems  as  I  cannot  make a correct word  problem.  I  was  so  happy that in a  short  period of  time I was  able  to think for my  previous  Mathematics  class.  


On the  last day, we covered up mostly on the ways of  assessment ( assessing  procedure, assess conceptual knowledge, assess the method, practical test, paper and  pencil and  oral  test).  According  to Dr.  Yeap,  some  assessment  can be  individual and  some assessment  can  be in a group.


I  like  the activity on which  each  group  was  asked  to  make  a box  that can  fit  15 beans. It  was  really  enjoying  and  I learned  from it  that  eyes  are  really  deceiving as  we  thought the small box  that we made is  perfectly  fitted to  15 beans.  


We  had  fun measuring the height  and  counting  the  steps of the  staircase at Bras Basah MRT station.  


Here's what  we  get:


Steps of  the  MRT staircase


                     3 flights  of  16 steps
                     1 flight of 14 steps
                     each  step  is  15 cm.


Computation:


                     16x 3 =  48 
                     48+14=  62
                     62x15cm=      930 cm
