Add-ons

I know this blog was created for any ideas in teaching Math in China, but yours truly is currently teaching Grade 7 Science and don't want to create another blog for that. So I'll add it here.

Today, I'll add a website about Newton's Laws of Motion. In this link you can get a lot of ideas about teaching it.

For Egg drop experiment, this link gives you good ideas about how the students can do it by themselves.

Intervention for Students

I just finished third quarter and I think I should do some intervention to my students. I was searching for some ideas, and if you're having the same issues with me, check these links:

Daily Lesson Plans - A must do

I don’t mind writing lesson plans but my mind changes more so often that always twerk my class plans along the way. I think in a new perspective, lesson plans should not be submitted per day basis or a week before it’s taught. It should be handed in after teaching the class or so because then the teacher can write down the whole script of what went well and what should be done better next time. What they should require to submit beforehand is a whole year or semester curriculum map broken into unit plans to create a certain path that will help teachers to decide what daily lesson plans can be created to fit into the needs of the students. In this way, it’s less stressful for teachers and it’s more realistic.

Hey hey hey!

This will be my first post in 2019! I moved to Shanghai in an IB school in August 2018 so things got crazy busy learning new curricula and stuff. And another great news, I gave birth to Mikayla Gabrielle in mid-week of January so you can imagine my life was like prior to that month.

I'll be updating this blog, with more Science stuff this time as I'm currently teaching MYP Science 7. Last semester, I taught DP 10 Math but I need to give that one up in the second semester. Anyways, I'll write something about the Math curriculum of IBDP later.

Anyways, I'll share a lot of new ideas soon!
