Today I had the opportunity to observe Tynan’s year 10 maths session. Today they focused on surface area and volume of different shapes.

To start off the session, Tynan went through different examples on the whiteboard to highlight the key concepts and how to approach different types of questions. He explained the process while breaking things down step by step so that the student could follow along. Moreover, he paused regularly to check that his student understood the topic as well as engaging him in the session. This allowed for his student to confidently tackle questions later in the session.
Tynan allowed his student to independently work on different types of questions while guiding him on the way and steering him in the right direction. Whenever the student had difficulties, Tynan was quick in giving guidance to his student. By doing this, this allows the student to become more confidence and gain a deeper understanding on the given topic.
Overall, a great session to observe.
