Post-teaching

General comments of students:

Students are generally weak in solving word problems due to the lack of understanding of concepts and the question. Though students might be quite proficient with the method to obtain HCF and LCM, they do not understand how to use them in different word problems. There is a constant need to guide the students throughout word problems as a result.

Improvement points of students:

William is weaker in Maths than the rest of the class. As a result he has been constantly slower than the rest of the class and more time has to be given for him to grasp concepts.

Homework given (including due date): Students have been tasked to revise for their Maths test during their free time.
