SESSION ONE: 23RD SEPTEMBER 2013, MONDAY

First thought that I have when I saw the module title; YAY!! Mathematics, my favourite subject. BUT!! When I saw the textbook that was given and started reading, that’s where all the problems come!! I don’t really quite understand the text and there are so many words!!

    

BUT… after the first lesson with Dr. Yeap:

ü I HAD FUN!!

ü And… MANY brain cells killed when solving the different problems.

The activity that I enjoyed most is the tangram. Though it is nerve-wracking to figure out how to place the different pieces to form a rectangle, but I felt a sense of accomplishment when my group managed to form a rectangle with all the 7 pieces.

Then we tried out using only 3 pieces to make a rectangle. Who knows that we can actually use different pieces to form rectangles of the same size??!!

*IMPORTANT POINTS THAT I HAVE LEARNT:

ü Mathematics is NEVER about memorizing. SERIOUSLY!!

ü There can never be only 1 way to solve a problem.

ü Discussing with others help us to reflect on our own methods and compare.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SOLVING MORE PROBLEMS IN CLASS TODAY~~ J
