I am into expansion and factorisation for 2N1 now. As usual, i find them really very slow in learning. Double confirm this with my the other 2 Sec 2N colleagues and find that it is true for their classes too.
Right now, i am going very slow and trying my best to make it as simple and as easy to them as possible. I set a 3 questions short test after each topic to check their understanding. I also got to keep asking them about the 3 formulaes as they forget it very easily. I am trying to make the worksheet very direct for them so that they can understand better.
A few of the students are still very disruptive in class and i still have to waste some time getting them ready every lesson. Haiz...so much efforts spent on them. I wonder if they really will understand and appreciate the teacher's efforts. Some of them really do not seem interested in their studies at all.

Try finding out the factors that contribute to their disinterest in learning by talking to them. Who knows, you may be able to sieve out a lot of information and then see how help can be given to them.
ReplyDeleteSince pupils are so slow, then no point insisting that they know the 3 formulae. It is ok if they use the "smiling face" method to do expansion and "cross" method to do factorise as these 2 methods will work for all questions at this stage.
