Maths Teacher

☛ Provide study material which is compelling and easy to understand

☛ Try create an ambience where students can help each other

☛ Allot homework smartly which is a burden less and more meaning full

☛ Model thinking and not solution or answer oriented

☛ Provide the feedback immediately and which is more relevant to the task

☛ Before state testing gets math tutor volunteers once a week for 2 months

☛ Use story telling method to teach maths to students

☛ Computers are inevitable in 21st century; a basic computer programming from high school onwards can help students to become a pro by the time they complete their colleges

☛ Data science engineering is another subject that could be helpful to the student in their near future

☛ Statistics is like catalyst for data analysis, with little knowledge with statistics they can handle and operate data library in any field

To convert a percentage into fraction let say 70% to a fraction

☛ Convert 70 % into decimal = 70/ 100 = 0.7

☛ Write down the decimal “over” the number 1 = 0.7/1

☛ Then multiply top and bottom by 10 = 0.7x 10 = 7/10

For each number after the decimal point 1 x 10

(10 for 1, 100 for 2)

☛ Which will give = 7/10

☛ 7/10 it the fraction form

☛ Having a vision and a clear goal

☛ Planning and motivating

☛ Good communication at all levels

☛ Visibility, consistency and accountability

☛ Supportive

Effective classroom management styles include

☛ Don’t attend any parent’s- teacher conference, student meeting or discussion until you are clear about the goal

☛ Understand students all aspects and requirement for class-room

☛ Ensure that whatever you implement or say should be practically feasible and beneficial for the student

Geometry can be classified into two classes

☛ Plane Geometry: It is about flat shapes like triangles, lines and circles that can be drawn on a piece of paper

☛ Solid Geometry: It is about three-dimensional objects like cylinders, cubes, prism and spheres

☛ Try to analyse what went wrong

☛ Concentrate on the weakness of the lessons

☛ Make the content easy and more comprehensive

☛ Utilize useful resource

☛ Take advice and guidance from other experienced teachers

The classroom management structure the I would opt for –

☛ Listening students in one-to-one meeting

☛ Solving issues among the students

☛ Try to involve parents in the disciplinary process

☛ Having student sign a learning contract at the beginning of the year

☛ Agreeing on a set of classroom rules together as a class

Some of the problems faced by middle school is

☛ Insufficient teacher training

☛ Inappropriate learning environment

☛ Less involvement of parents

☛ Emotional stress and other issues

There are two types of interest which can be calculated using a different formula

Simple Interest

Compound Interest

To calculate simple interest, formula used is (PX RX T)/ 100

Where P is the principal amount, R is for the rate of interest and t is for time

Formula for calculating compound interest is P X (1 + r/100) ^t

Cubic Meter is the standard unit used to measure the volume of an object length by length. The unit is written in m3.

1 m3 (Cubic Meter) = 1000 liters

Spend some time in the classroom. Learn some empathy. Get a nice watch. As the year progresses, start difficult, get easier if you must. Learn from other teachers, take what works for your personality, and apply it as early and often as possible.

I usually use technology in one of two ways: for grading students in my classroom or developing electronic teacher assessment notebooks for every teacher in the school. In the former, I use EnGrade, an application that lets me put my grades online so students and parents can see my grading in real time. It also keeps me organized by tracking attendance and other assessments. In the latter, I develop online spreadsheets via Google Docs / Drive so teachers can get a good sense of their students’ assessment information. In turn, they also have to enter their performance assessment grades so the teacher teams get a good sense of how students are learning in the class.

I am the type of teacher who shares with my peers the classroom experiences that I have had, whether good or bad. I do this because I believe that this the best way for me
and other teachers to improve our teaching. In this way, I get to share with them the best of my skills and, in return, they share with me the best of their skills. I also find
that this is a very good way to learn how to handle situations that are difficult or unusual. The feeling of not being alone, but being part of a team of teachers, is what I can bring to the school. This will help build morale and a great working environment.
