Komathi
Hi guys, sorry for the delay. Eventhough it is school holidays but I find that I am busier than how I used to be in my working days. Alright, coming back to the main aim of the blog, the sharing session. I have a problem in the topic sets, for me I find that this topic is easy to understand but my weaker students always get confused especially when they are required to shade the region involving union and intersection of sets. Can someone suggest to me, how I can teach better to help my weaker students.

LAW HUI LEH
Task 1:
One of my that went very well is the topic 'sets'. I teach this topic to the form two students. I used to teach them with a picture which shown a few kinds of animals in the jungle.
a. The ideas for this lessons came from 'mycd' which is the cd inside their textbook, there
have many activities and interesting questions that can attract students.
b. This lesson needs students to identify the ratio. Like example, they are asked to identify the
ratio between bears to tigers from the picture shown. So they need to count how many bears
and tigers are there in the picture. Let say we have two bears and four tigers, the answer in
the form of ratio in mathematics will be 2 : 4 or in the form of sentence 2 bears to four tigers.
c. I think this lesson is very successful for me because with the good and understanding
introduction can help the students know better what is the concept of 'sets'.
d. This is what i learnt from my experience, if you want your students understand and master
the skill, then you should present a good introduction before you go into the topic.
e. If i want to improve this lesson, i will ask them to surf the internet because there are so
many questions and activities about the topic or sometimes i will find and photocopy the
activities from the internet to the students.
f. I have been shared this experience with my friends.
Task 2:
One of the topic that is very challenging for me is the topic 'circles'.
a. The ideas for this lesson came from the internet and mostly i explain it with my own idea.
Like example find the area and circumference of circles, some of the students could not
differentiate and how to use the formula.
b. This topic is quiet difference from others topic because the questions come out in the PMR is
complicated.
c. -.
d. The experience that i learnt from this lesson is the students have to do a lot of questions and
we can also shown the real model so that they can understand better.
e. If i want to improve this lesson, i will ask from some experience teachers for their opinion
how to explain the area and circumference of circles for students better understanding.
f. No.

Task 2.
For me, topic that very challenging to teach is Geometrical Construction - Mathematics form 2.
The student must completely understand the concept and know the steps to draw based on questions given. Normally I'm using demonstration method where drawing make by me and students must follow to complete the drawing. I think this is the best way for students to improve their drawing skills . If there any method or new way of teaching this topic, hope u can share with me.

Task 1.
LOCI IN TWO DIMENSIONS
I have been teaching Mathematics since July 2000 until 2007. For the year 2008 I'm teaching ICTL for form 1 and form 2 students. Here i posted the presentation slides that was created in 2005.
by using MS Powerpoint presentation it is easy to show students what is 2 dimensional loci is all about. Its more efficient compared by using method chalk and talk. Student are able to understand quickly.
Types of loci.

How to put diagrams in your entry?
Hi everybody,
I think it is good to share this stuff with all of you - just in case you need to put any diagram(s) in your entry as an illustration to your presentation/discussion.
STEPS:
1. Draw your diagram(s) in PowerPoint file
2. View the slide
3. Printscreen the slide view (find for PrtSc/PrintScreen on one of your keyboard buttons -> Press the button
4. Open Paint program (if you do not know how to open it - click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint
5. Paste the prinstscreen of your slide show in Paint
6. Save it as JPEG (File -> Save As -> name the file (File name) -> Save as type: JPEG -> Save
7. Go to your blog -> New Post (or Edit Post, if you have already posted your entry but you want to add some diagrams -> click Add image icon (third icon from right)
8. A new window (Blogger - Upload image) will appear
9. Click Browse - find the file that you saved from Paint -> click Upload Image
10. Once it's done, the picture will be appeared in your posting box - you can easily drag the picture to the place you want it to be or alternatively you can cut the picture and paste it between paragraphs.
11. If you are satisfied with it, as usual click Publish Post.
Below is the example of a 'diagram' which I created using the steps above:
Good luck!
NB: I should thank Maslinda who asked me this question which I think will benefit others too. Well done, Lyneen!

TASK 1
I have been teaching Mathematics since July 2007 but before that I teach science since 2004. At that time I just continue topic Loci. After the lesson, I can see students face show that they didn’t understand the topic and I can evaluated based on the exercise given to them. So, I shared my experience with my friend who was an experience teacher and tell her my problems. Then, my friend give me a very good idea how to teach the topic. Actually the ‘clue’ are inside the question itself and they can answer the question correctly.
Learning Objectives in this topic are :
Construct the locus of a set of all point that satisfies the condition
a) the point is at a constant distance from a fixed point – clue - 1 point = so, the locus is
a circle
1 point = the locus is a circle
b) the point is at equidistant from two fixed points – clue - 2 points = so, the locus is
a perpendicular bisector
( 2 points A and B) = perpendicular bisector
c) the point is at a constant distance from a straight line – clue - 1 line = so, the locus is
a pair of parallel lines
Example : Line AB ( 1 line) = pair of parallel lines
d) the point is at equidistance from two intersecting lines – clue - 2 lines = so, the locus is
a bisector of angle
Example : Lines AB and AC ( 2 lines) = bisector of angle
This lesson needs students to understand the questions. Teachers only need to stressed on the clue and they can construct the diagrams correctly. Just give a simple questions for the first step and then followed by problems questions. Its work!
For the second time, my lesson went very well because all the student give a very good respond when I ask them several questions. Beside that, they also can answer questions correctly in the exercise given. So, from this experience I know that I can improve my skill if I share my experience with experience teacher and they will help me. For the next year I will use CD to make it very clear as a addition to my explanation. if u have any idea, u can share with me.
Task 2
For me, topic that very challenging to teach is transformation –Mathematics form 2. This topic was different from other topic because students need to imagine the situation and its quite different to understand especially subtopic rotation.
I ask my friend and she advised me to use CD. Its easy because the students saw the movement in transformation questions. But i still cannot find the easier method to teach this topic. Usually I use a CD as my teaching aids.
This lesson need many example questions and show to them the different between translation, rotation and reflection. Actually in my school, we have our work book for mathematics and after they finished answer all the question they can understand it very well.
Its not very good experience because I not using special method. But I like to share with other if you have any ideas.
For me, learning a teaching skill from experience teacher is the best way to improve my skill but I don’t have any interesting idea how to teach this topic.
If you have any idea, I hope I can share it.

task 1
Hello everyone,
One of my lesson that went very well is while I teaching Linear Equation Form 2. That the difficult topic especially for weak student, who dont like this subject. So, I have to find very easier and simply to make them understand. This is what I done:
For example:
1. Find the value of y + 3 = 5
Minus both side with -3
y + 3 = 5
- 3 = -3
_________
y = 2
2. Find the value of x – 4 = 7
add both side with 4
x - 4 = 7
+ 4 = + 4
_________
x = 11
It more better if we can present by colourful card or like game. I got this idea from my ex-student who just came from USA. And then, I surfed internet to find out this method. My student like it a lot but the problem is, this method only can solve a simple equation, not a difficult equation like 2x + 4 = 7. But at least, they know the concept. So maybe, your guy have a better idea to improve that.
