6/4/08 Reflection...
Well, today I tutored the primary two students maths...

They are smart but a bit talkative and quite lazy though...

J told me he does not know how to do the remaining 4 problem sums. I taught him step by step but he would argue with me saying that 'more than' can be minus. I told him that 'more than' refers to addition of the current stuff. J does not want to listen to my explanation and just want me to tell himthe answer. For example, J wants me to say'30/3' or'50+68' . He is not in the mood to study and yearns to play.

I also helped to mark some assessment books.I realised that the students are quite weak in their maths because their times table was not memorised well enough.

Maybe it is time, i should brush up my own tutee too on her times table...
A pity, she told me she did not go and memorise the times table...=(

Well, i still believe that learning can only take place when the student is willing to accept and understand the explanation or concepts.
The students perhaps are too used to people giving them answers, i think...which is not very good right?
