As all DP students have taken initiative to teach students. Therefore it has become our responsibility to do it in a continued and proper manner. To ensure this, I have planned to teach origami craft work and math lessons till next week.
This time I taught them, the method of simplifying ratios and divisibility test. Initially it was very difficult as they were not so thorough with their tables and were unable to reduce greater number into smaller number.
To go through this obstacle, I explained the method of reducing number based on their divisibility test. For example how to reduce number 63 into smaller number such as 21.I told them that one need to check that in which table that particular number falls or is divisible by it.
Although I explained them but they were still having problems in solving questions but then I made them solve many questions to enhance their confidence level.After solving few questions based on simplifying ratios, I taught them craft work, which they further pasted on the large chart paper and stuck on the wall.
I felt that teaching the concept of simplifying ratio along with divisibility test is not so easy as I need to repeat the procedure again and again, even I have solved more than eight times to make them understand. Although simplifying the ratios is easy but as they were new to this concept and they were weak in their tables, they were finding it difficult.
I learned that the concepts, which are new to the students, require lot of explanation using different examples. But at the same time, Basics things need to be cleared such as tables.
But I feel, it’s my duty to make concepts easy to them, so I will continue to teach them with different, easy and appropriate method.
The learning outcome is that I become aware about the work of a teacher and how a teacher deals with the problems of students. I particulary developed a skill of taking challenge,which benefiits other people. Through this activity , I have been able to enhance the learning skill of students also. Education is a important global issue. Education helps the country to develop. Therefore through this activity the students will be having wide knowledge.

Excellent, Trisha! You are getting better and better in your reflections. I can see that you are putting in 100% in your service & creative activity. You are tackling problems very thoughtfully and your planning part too is good.
Please do mention how it is changing your own perspectives as an IB student vis-a-vis being an IB student. Also, what do you think about teachers and their work, now that you are also experiencing the same?

Yes sir in my next reflection, I will definately write about it and thankyou for your comment.
Good suggestion! Trisha, I suggest that you integrate what learning outcomes were experienced in the above reflection as well as in your forthcoming reflections on other activities.
