22th April 2014
Today was my third week of PACE workshop. I reached
there early as usual and teacher was teaching our mentees mathematics during
the first hour. Moreover, Carmen’s group was this week representatives to guide
the PACE work. The main objective for today’s activities was to ensure
effective learning. Today’s activities aimed to deliver a session that is
tailored to the individual skills and aptitude of the students. Hence, Carmen’s
group conducted 3 activities such as recap on last week activities, individual
questions and math competition in order to encourage communication and teamwork
amongst the mentees as well as to inject a sense of enjoyment into math through
competition.
Most of the mentees were weak at memorising
multiplication table. Thus, we have to guide them throughout the revision
booklet that contains fraction exercises involving plus, minus, divide and
multiplication. On the other hand, I tested my mentee some multiplication in
order to ensure she is able to answer my questions correctly and able to
remember the multiplication table well. Basically, my mentee was capable to
solve the fractions as well as slowly memorising multiplication table. After
the recap, mentees were given several fractions to solve in a limited time. My
mentee solved it fast but she has done some mistakes so I lead her step by step
so she will learn from mistake. The next activity was mathematics equation
solving competition. Each group has to solve the equations quickly and send a
mentee that represents the group to present on how they solve the equations in
front of the white board. At the end of the session, mentors gave some rewards
to the mentees so they will feel more appreciated.
The quote of the day “one must learn by doing the
thing, though you knowing it, you have no certainty until you try” by
Sophocles. Therefore, practices makes perfect because the more the mentees
exercise, they will be able to know where their weaknesses are. In addition,
mentors are there to guide and help the mentees to a better path in their
studies. I will strive to encourage my mentee study hard as she is just a bit
lazy but she is a smart student. On the other hand, I learnt that leadership is
significant to lead a team towards succeed because leader provide team members
motivation and positive attitudes. "The goal of coaching is the goal of
good management to make the most of an organization's valuable resources.” By Harvard
Business Review. Leadership is vital in our future career because provides an
inspirational figure to lead groups of people towards great accomplishments.
Leadership can provide a foundation for ideas and excellence, showing others
that anything is possible.
