hello rover

Well my second week was still lots of fun. Had a bit of a disaster with my first class. Yr 10 maths and I was revising percentage changes discounts etc, I introduced too much new stuff when I gave an example of wind strength and force on a kite. The poor kids were lost and I didn't know what to do. I really let them down, but they still got something out of it on the simple questions I had on my worksheet I made for them, although I really needed more simple questions. (forgot to mark the roll too) I learnt a lot from that class and the next day in my Yr 8 math class I did a much better job, in fact I went a bit too slow and simple, some of the kids knew all the answers and where I was taking them in the mean mode median data analysis i took them through, still, better too simple than too hard. Anyway, next week I've got some more classes which I've got some good ideas for and I'll be taking some 12 maths and physics too, really looking forward to that.
