Super Fun Math Pop Quiz For PMR Students

Okay, now I'm at the tuition center. I supposed to teach them but today, I gave my students 5 super fun questions. They are all basic math questions. I didn't set the rule in the test. I just said, it's a test and see how the thing goes.

I saw female students tend to discuss with their mates. Unlike the male students, they seem to be occupied with their own mind. Individualism is keenly observed in male students here. As I said, I didn't set the rule. They set the rules themselves.

My objective of giving the test is not really to test them on basic skill of math. It's just to see whether they are willing to cooperate with each other or not to solve the math problems.

My teaching technique is an odd one. That I must admit. The tuition center owner somehow, doesn't really favor the way I am teaching the class. In my class, shouting and yelling is allowed, provided they add more values into the class. For example, if they want to fight into giving correct answers. Discussion is very much welcome. Asking question is allowed, and arguing with me is also allowed. In fact, I encourage them to argue with me on my answers.

I found out quite a few of my PMR students last year got A in Math subject, the subject I taught them last year. I felt relieved. But the real thing I want them to salvage from learning process with me is the eagerness to ask. Inquiry spirit must be kept burning in their mind.

I do hope they get what I'm trying to tell them. If I could tell them to bust the old rules, I would. But I like them to find it themselves. That's the value of education.
