Lesson on Patterns

On 14^th of September, I taught mathematics lesson in class PP through ICT tools. The topic was on patterns. With the integration of ICT in lesson now many children were aware of the ICT and its uses. Students now a day are fond of ICT and they take interest in learning using ICT. They learn faster and its fun learning.

In introduction parts I taught them using classroom objects such as: linking cubes, students themselves, gho/kira patterns, floor patterns, etc. They learn different patterns of A B, A B, A B, A B patterns and then ABB, ABB,ABB patterns and AAB, AAB, AAB patterns. After that using the classroom objects, they were asked to find out any other patterns in the classroom. Then teacher draws patterns on the green board.

After that, I took them to the TV room and showed them the videos on patterns where students watched and tell what types of patterns are shown in the video. While video is screen in TV, I can understood that children are enjoying the session. They are actively listening and watching the video. In between, I asked them some questions such as: Yangchen, what pattern is this? Is it AB pattern? Kabir, what pattern is shown there? Who can tell this pattern? So, students are really enjoying the lesson and as most of them can tell the patterns correctly.

Few challenges always occur while teaching in a smaller grade like class PP as some of them could not say the patterns correctly. I ask the students who is sitting beside them to help what patterns is it. Most of the students could tell the patterns correctly and recognize from the videos screen in the TV. At the end of my teaching, I felt happy as the lesson was successful one and children were insisting me to show the videos again. I promise them to bring to TV room when I have an interesting lesson/topic. They were very eager for the next lesson where they learn much better through ICT teaching.
