When you measure something.
It’s like when you see how long and tall something is.
How tall Sophia is.
Room 10 students explored the mathematics concept of measurement. We discussed standard-units during classroom conversation. We talked about how centimeters and meters were made easier using measuring tapes.
The goal of the lesson was to measure the tables inside the classroom, the junior playground area, the sand pit, and the deck area of the front/back area of Room 10. Students were very excited for this hands-on-investigation. They were able to record their measurement in their group books. They learned how important it is to record the units of measurement.
Great conversation, communication, and cooperation were observed throughout the lesson. I heard their laugh, discuss/defend when they were doing their measurement inside/outside of the classroom. The students were able to discuss what was happening and make comparisons between the sizes of areas.
I found it interesting the way I measured the sandpit.
Class tables are 36 cm long, I have measured all of the tables.
I learned how long a pole is in junior playground.
I learnt it is fun to measure things.
I learnt Measuring is to find out the width and height of anything
I learnt how far is wall and fence back side of room 10, I think fence is 2 m far from the wall
learnt I can measure everything big and small.
One of the slides in the junior playground is 1 meter long.
Mrs Singh has seen wonderful group work while students were measuring the different areas. When Mrs Singh was walking in the classroom/outside to take photos, she noticed that conversations were all about the measurements and they were using appropriate vocabulary of measurement.
Every student has a voice, a strength, and a unique path to success. As teachers, our role is to listen, empower, and guide them toward their fullest potential.
Being a teacher is more than just imparting knowledge. It requires passion and dedication. Creating a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to take ownership of their learning journey is crucial.
With a student centered approach, I recognise and celebrate the diverse strengths, backgrounds, and learning styles of each individual in my classroom. Academic content is taught alongside skills of collaboration, problem-solving, empathy, and resilience.
Teaching is not just my profession, it is my passion. By encouraging students' curiosity, critical thinking, questioning and risk taking, students become lifelong learners.
Beyond the classroom, I find inspiration in nature through gardening, where I see parallels between nurturing plants and nurturing young minds. Both require patience, care, and the right environment to flourish. Time spent with my whānau is deeply valued as family is at the heart of my personal and professional values.
