Teaching Practicum

I taught on Monday in Mathayom 1/1, before that My mentor have gave me the topic there is about Equation. I prepared my lesson plan and sent it to my mentors on Sunday. I taught two times on one week. First, I taught about introducing  equation. I used cooperative learning or students center method for my lesson. In first time.

after explain about the lesson I devided students into small group consist of five or six students. I asked the students to count one until six, end then each student who get same number sit together and be one group. I explain about direction to help them work and gave some clue for the activity. At the end, I asked two of six group to present their work in front of the class with english. As a whole they did it properly and systematically.

At my Second teaching, the sub topic is about  Solving equation in one variable,explain of equation,explain a different equation in one variable with any variable . Like before, I prepared my lesson plan and sent it to my mentor a day before teaching. In that meeting, I made different method for teaching but still based on students center method. After explain the lesson I devide students into small group and I gave the wall of equation, the activity is match all pieces of the wall to be one shape with correct answer and the group which first finish I gave them a reward that candy and chocolate, and the second group which good decoration I gave them candy.  The students was very exited during the lesson. They also corperate with their friend.

The students could understand my lesson, but sometimes my mentor had to translate my explanation to them. One times I gave them individual test, and they could answer the questions correctly, they were so awesome.
