hello rover

Well, another week down and only 2 to go. This week was great, I think I've finally found out how to make a lesson work for me and the students. Last lesson on a Friday arvo before the bell, 78 mins of Yr9 maths, notoriously bad time to be doing maths. The lesson went so well, even the more disruptive students were so interested in doing algebra I was surprised. And all because I asked them to find the weight of flowers and snowflakes, who would have thought that something so abstract could be made so interesting! I also managed to get a good class for my physics students and a good time was had by all, I'm learning how to best get them to learn for themselves. It's good when it finally all comes together.
