I had a fabulous
time attending the Math fair at the Museum of Anthropology. I was amazed by the
way the young students presented their projects. They were well-organized,
confident and very clear in their explanations. The learners connected with the
artifacts at the museum and created a math problem which was very creative. The
students were non- competitive and they were all proud presenting their
projects and I even had the chance to ask them how and where they got all these
ideas.
The 1st
station I attended, I even got a small reward of “Thank you” which really made
me feel so special. I was not only warmly welcomed but got a small note for the
participation. :) During my short practicum, I observed how teachers where
praising students with a pencil, sticker or even treats. They loved it and that
encourage participation in class.
I will try my
best to organize a math fair during my practicum, as math is not only about
formulas, worksheet and problem- solving.
