2. DEFINITION OF GROUP WORK
• Group work involves students working
collaboratively on set tasks, in or out of the
classroom. Group work includes:
• Any learning and teaching tasks or activities that
require students to work in groups
• Any formal assessment tasks that require students to
work in groups.
(pairs and small teams of three to six).
4. Aims of group work
• intellectual understanding, abilities and skills
• communication, cooperative and teamwork skills such
as planning, management, leadership and peer
support
• independence and increased responsibility for own
learning
5.
6. The benefits of group work
• Increased productivity and performance
• Skills development
• Knowing more about yourself
• Enhanced self-awareness
7. Technique of group work
• The purpose of group work should be adequately clear
to every member
• Group should be homogeneous
• in order to ensure equal responsibility and effort
11. Oral work
• It is the work which is done without
the help of written word and record.
• As a matter of fact that much of the mathematical
work has to be done mentally and many tables have
to b learnet by heart.
• Oral work is the back bone not only for written work
but also of overall performance in the subject.
12. Function of oral work
• With the help of oral work some time can possibly be
saved.
• It remove shyness of pupils through oral expression.
• A few oral questions can make the students alert and
active.
• It is an easy of testing previous knowledge.
• It encourages healthy competition.
• The teacher can through out remain
in touch with class.
13. Cont..
• It is an effective means of maintaining discipline.
• It builds strong foundation for later written work.
• Oral questions enable the teacher to judge weather the
students are following the lesson or not.
• Recapitulation and revision can also be done by well-
framed oral questions.
14. Written work
Oral discussion and mental images are not enough and
cannot possibly be retained for long time. The ultimate
aim of oral work is the efficiency in written work.
15. • Designing and comparing procedures
How might we count this pile of sticks?
How could you subtract 37 from 82?
• Interpreting result
What does the graph tell us about the most common shoe
size?
So what can we say about the sum of the angles in a
triangle?
• Applying reasoning
In how many different ways can four children sit at a
round table?
Why is the sum of two odd numbers always even?
18. Characteristics of Assignment:
Briefly speaking, the assignment must possess the
following characteristics:
• Correlation with previous knowledge and
experiences.
• Clarity and definiteness
• Recognition of individual
differences
19. Guidelines for preparing the Assignments
• Teacher should give hints and references about topic
• Assignment should arise out of the activities, need
and interest of the pupils
• It must motivate, clear up doubts and develop
insight.
• The assignment should be cooperative activity on
which teacher and pupil take an effective part.
22. Advantages :
• Provides opportunity for self learning
• Assignment provides sufficient flexibility in learning.
• The slow learners too adapt with this method.
• Teachers’ interruption is very much reduced and the
students’ active participation is encouraged.
• Teacher acts as a role of guide only.
23. Disadvantages:
• It is time consuming and burden process.
• Teacher has to collect the information from various
sources before assigning the work to the students.
• The success of the assignment method largely depends
on facilities
• The teacher has to examine the work
• The slow learners need much more attention from the
teacher.
25. Drill Work
• Drill or exercises are nothing but the ways to
revise lesson that has already been taught. It is
a means to strengthen the knowledge already
acquired.
26. Importance of Drill and Exercise in the
Teaching of Mathematics
Drill leads to habit formation, mental, physical
and emotional outcomes of schools activities are
always the result of habit formation and hence
dependent on drill.
27. How drill became effective?
• Drill must be most effective and well
motivated.
• Drill exercise should be brief and distributed
over a period of time.
• Variety of problems will make the drill
interesting.
• The drill work should be progressively more
challenging.
30. Merits and Advantages of Drill work
• It keeps the teacher conscious of his
responsibilities. It does not allow him to sleep
over the matter for the year because he shall
have to teach the students in the class.
• It also keeps the students awake. They have to
do the work regularly, so that they do not fail
in the examination.
31. Demerits or Disadvantages of the Drill
work
This method has the following drawbacks:-
• It gives an opportunity to the teacher to sit at
ease in the class and ask the students to solve
exercises or do the drill.
• If exercises are not properly given to the
students, it is likely to jeopardize the interest of
the students in subject.
32. How Drill make effective
• A spirit of play should be introduced in order to
make the process of memorization less tiresome.
This can be achieved by making use of number
games, number cards, self-direction material and
application of ideas in various situations at
home and school. It should often be indirect and
disguised.
33. A few principles Underlying Effective
Drill
• The material to be memorized or drill upon
should be meaningful.
• Drill exercises should be short and distributed
over a period of time.
• Drill should be properly and sufficiently
motivated and once initiative, it should be well
organized
35. Introduction
• Forty minutes of a period is not sufficient to evaluate
the:
• essay type or objective type
• Questions or practice mathematics
• or solving problems in mathematics. Therefore home
work has to be given regularly to the students
36. Why is Homework Important?
• Homework set prior to a lesson can aid
understanding later in class.
• Homework also provides opportunities for
reinforcement of work
• learned during school time and for children to
develop their research skills
37. Why homework is helpful
• “Homework is important because it’s an
opportunity for students to review materials
that are covered in the classroom.
38. Merits and Advantages of Home Work
• Home work is essential because the school hours are
not enough for necessary work.
• It brings about closer relationship among the parents
and the school.
• It promotes the habit of self study in children.
• It develops a sense of responsibility among the
children
39. Disadvantages or Demerits of Home Work
• It takes too much time of children after the school.
• Homes do not provide suitable conditions of work.
• Many people involve their parents or others to
complete their home work.
• Some children develop emotional tensions because of
home work.
