Day 34 of My Teaching Practice  29.07.2024                                                                                                                             Monday  Today marked the 34th day of my teaching practice. I arrived at school by 8:45 a.m. and started with substitution duty in class 10B during the first period. For my allotted periods, which were the third and sixth, my mentor teacher was on leave, so I took over both periods. During these sessions, I revised the chapter new numbers and provided the students with extra questions. It was gratifying to see them tackle these questions independently, applying their understanding of the material.  A...

  Day 28 of My Teaching Practice 22.07.2024                                                                             Monday Today was the 28th day of my teaching practice. I reached the school at 8:45 a.m. The day was special as it was Pi Approximation Day. Upon arriving, my mentor, Karthika Ma'am, asked me to help prepare for a seminar scheduled at 1:15 p.m. by the school's math club. We created circles of different radii for the students to measure the circumference and divide it by the diameter, helping them discover the constant Pi. My allotted periods were during the 3rd and 6th periods. During the 3rd period, I conducted an achievement test on the chapter "Multiplication Identities." At 1:15 p.m., I helped Karthika Ma'am with the Pi Approximation Day activities, assisting students ...

 Day 26 of My Teaching Practice 18.07.2024                                                                           Thursday Today, I arrived at school at 8:45 a.m. My allotted period was the second period in class 9G, where I conducted a problem-solving session on "Product of a Sum and Difference." The students remembered the identity but needed help translating word problems into equations. Once set up, they successfully applied the identity to solve the problems. The discussion on the second problem extended into the next period, so I continued in class 9G during the fourth period, addressing doubts and clarifying previous questions. I assisted with serving the noon meal and had substitution duty in class 9F during the sixth period. After the bell and national anthem at 3:15 p.m., I performe...

Day 24 of My Teaching Practice 15.07-2024                                                                            Monday Today, I arrived at school at 8:45 a.m. and did substitution duties in classes 8E and 9C during the first and second periods. At noon, I helped serve the meal. In the sixth period, I conducted a problem-solving session on "Multiplication with Difference." I introduced geometry problems to explore how changing the dimensions of shapes affects their area and perimeter. Students analyzed these effects and framed equations based on their observations. I reviewed their solutions to ensure accuracy and was pleased with their active participation.  The day ended with the national anthem, line duty, and signing the register. I left the school at 3:45 p.m. Day 25 of My Teaching Prac...

Day 22 of My Teaching Practice 11.07.2024                                                                             Thursday Today, I arrived at school at 8:45 a.m. My allotted period was the second period, where I taught "Multiplication with a Difference" from the multiplication identities chapter. I demonstrated how to simplify complex multiplications using differences and the distributive property. The students understood the concept well and were able to apply it effectively. In addition, I had substitution duty in class 9F and conducted a 10-mark test for class 8A to assess their basic mathematics skills. I verified the marks and submitted the results to Karthika Ma'am. The day ended with the national anthem, line duty, and signing the register. I left the school premises by 3:45 p.m. Ove...

  Day 19 of My Teaching Practice 08.07.2024                                                                             Monday Today was the 19th day of my teaching practice. I reached the school at 8:45 a.m. The school was busy preparing for a special event. We found out there was an inauguration ceremony scheduled for the afternoon, featuring the Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Suresh Gopi. During the second period, in class 9G, I conducted a problem-solving session on special operations from the chapter on multiplication identities. I guided the students through word problems, helping them identify and analyze patterns in the remainders and products of numbers. By the end of the session, they could construct mathematical proofs on their own. During the third period...
