4 Jun General supervision
taught another upper primary boy maths today
was doing model-drawing sums
he had problem drawing the models based on the question as seen that he finished all the questions that did not require model drawing first then asked me for help concerning model-drawing questions
used quite some time explaining to him how to draw but for the rest he's quite good
realised another problem kids have regarding these questions is their interpretation of the question -- must take note of words like "before", "at first", "later", "after", in which 2 models may be required sometimes
at this point in think model-drawing notes covering not just the basic but consisting of a variety of questions would be of good help to the kids in helping them revise the steps and take note of trick questions
