As a group, we had a short discussion on what Mathematic concept that we would like to teach. We also thought of the age group and the place where we would like to go to carry out the Math task.
We decided on "Value of money". We decided on what to prepare and how to go about doing the task. We also thought of the age group that we would like to have the lesson with.
Some of us reflected back on what prior experiences that we had that linked to the topic/task that we wanted to do.
"I remembered, NTUC Fairprice does not allow cameras." Nuzurul said.
"But the other day when I went, I took pictures." Yi Shi said.
In order to solve this problem, we decided to go ahead to the venue and find out on the details with regards to taking pictures. And... Oh No!
But we still took some. (Going against the rule.)
Besides this problem, what I realised is that, we need to expose the concept of money to children first. Therefore, this task, I believed has to be done after we give some prior experiences to children regarding money.
Perhaps, we should have lesson on "introduction of money" first before letting them to handle money in buying items.
Hmm... Yes, this should be the way!
