This afternoon, I observed Maria’s session with her primary school student. She did an amazing job incorporating interactive methods of learning when revising perimeter and area, using colour and a game to create extra interest for the student. Also, Maria taught her student about different angles through a matching flashcard activity which was very helpful for increasing the student’s confidence in identifying angles.
For English, Maria gave her student a spelling test and worked on writing recounts. She separated the parts of a recount and helped her student plan his response. This was a very effective way to teach structure.
Overall, Maria ran the session in a very positive way and boosted her student’s confidence. Amazing work, Maria!
