Mathematics

1. Checking of Understanding & Surfacing Misconceptions/ Common Errors

Example 1: This is a lesson review where students attempted the short quiz on a GoogleForm, embedded in the class Maths blog. Their responses were captured in the GoogleSpreadsheet which has been formatted to highlight incorrect answers. Errors were surfaced for discussion in class.

2. Demonstration of Understanding

Example: Students were introduced to several problem solving strategies. To demonstrate their understanding, they were to identify one and illustrate with an example where the strategy was used to solve the problem.

3. Learning... on their own
Selected topics (e.g. Percentages) were identified with large part of the module delivered to the Subject Site where suggested timeframe were given to students to learn the topic on their own. For the more capable students, they could escalate by attempting the online quizzes in the Content Management System to check their understanding and mastery of the topic.

4. Articulating thought processes
In the form of viva voce, students were tasked to explain how they solve a problem verbally. This requires them to use the mathematical language to articulate their thought processes.
