This week was the first week we attend the class in the year 2009. This semester Madam Lam will teach us on Teaching of Numbers, Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. We had learned on number sense using the suggested book. Now I realize that the book was really useful especially when completing my practicum later. Number sense is about to understand the number concepts and the operations on these numbers. Therefore, people with number sense are able to use the numbers effectively in daily life.

Beside that, we also learned on counting principles. There were 4 important principles that we need to know and understand which were one-to-one counting, stable order rule, order irrelevance rule and cardinality rule. Each one of the principles has their own terms.

For our tutorial task, we had been asked to create a mini game for micro teaching which was related to numbers. I and delver were prepared a game using picture. We cut the picture into pieces and label it with number. So, the pupils with rearrange the picture based on the numbers. Therefore, they need to know the numbers sequence first.
