week 1
Reflection Week 1
This week I have learned about number sense. Number sense can be described as an understanding of number concepts and operation on these numbers, the development of useful strategies for handling numbers and operations, the facility to compute accurately and efficiently, to detect errors, and to recognize result as reasonable. In my understanding, people who have number sense are able to understand numbers and can use them effectively in daily life situations.
In children level of understanding, their number sense is more on using arithmetic computation for example 47 + 53. Most of children will use a written calculation to solve this kind of question but for those who have already achieve number sense they can straight away solve this problem using their mental Arithmetic skill. But of course number sense is not easy for all children to get because it will develop slowly through life.
This week also we have done and create some mini games for micro teaching. I couldn’t join this activity because I’m not feeling very well that day. So I just join Zool’s group. The game that they create is a picture maze that needs to be arranging accordingly. To get the answer, just arrange the picture according to the number from number one to ten.
