WEEKLY REFLECTION 5  The fifth week of teaching practice also went very well. On the first day of this week, Monday, 30/12/2024, during the second period in class 9A ,I started a new chapter  PARTS OF CIRCLES. In this period, I taught the topic area of circle through innovative model from the chapter Parts of circles. On the 19th day of teaching practice, Tuesday, 31/12/2024, during the second period in 9B, I taught the topic length of arc through constructivist model using  charts, and activity cards. Later, during the sixth period, I went for substitution in the 5th-grade class and explained some concepts related to addition.

On the last day of this week, Friday, 03/01/2025, due to the PTA meeting, only ...

  This innovative model demonstrates the derivation of the area of a circle by rearranging circular sectors into a nearly rectangular shape. It is developed using a black chart or cardboard as a base, with a bold title "AREA OF A CIRCLE" for clear visibility and a picture of Archimedes to highlight his contributions. A circle made from colored foam or paper is divided into equal sectors, alternately colored for distinction, and fixed with a pin for rotation. The transformation process involves cutting out the wedges and rearranging them alternately to approximate a parallelogram. As the number of wedges increases, the shape becomes more rectangular, with its width labeled as the radius (r) and its length as half the circumference (πr). Mathematically, this results in the area formula πr × r = πr². Additional information, such as π ≈ 3.141592653589 and Circumference = 2πr, is displayed to reinforce learning. Short explanatory notes clarify how the increasing number of sectors ...

  WEEKLY REFLECTION 4 The fourth week of teaching practice went very well. Due to the Christmas exams, there were only two working days for the students in this week. On the 16th day, Monday, 09/12/2024, I attended the 2nd and 5th  period for the 9th class. There were I took some revision class based on the chapters irrational multiplication and similar triangles.students asked their doubts and clarified them. On the 17th day, Tuesday, 10/12/2024, there were very few students in class. During the second period in 9A, I conducted a revision of the Christmas exam portions. In the afternoon, I left the school after informing the Headmaster that we would not be assigned exam duty. Later, we assisted the teachers in arranging the exam halls.
