Week 4
Reflection Week 4
This week I have learned about algorithms. It is about how to solve a math problem by using mental calculation. At school we need to make sure the students understand how to solve a problem and also to make sure they know why we use certain steps to get the answers. I believe that when the students understand why they use their problem solving steps to solve a math problem, they would be able to answer as many questions in a various way of solving it.
I also have learned a few new addition steps which called Partial sums method and column addition method. It is much faster to calculate mathematical problem using this two addition method than the standard method we usually use. Other than that, we also learned a new subtraction method for me that can easily and much faster to solve a mathematical problem.
During this week also, we have done a little bit of discussion whether calculator is suitable to be used at primary school these day or not. For me, I prefer using calculator at school. This is because students can learned number much faster this way in fact children like to play with something when they study so using a calculator might attract them to be involve in learning session.
