ACTION PLAN MOHAMMAD ZOHAIB The City School GULSHAN BOYS CAMPUS SENIOR-I MATHEMATICS
LONG TERM GOAL Enhance 21st Century Approaches in Teaching Mathematics*
S H O R T T E R M G O A L S • Emphasis on mental Mathematics skills, to enhance higher- • order thinking. • Enabling students: • to solve problems involving The Limits • of Accuracy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4RdR4qcKpc • to solve problems on Minimum • and Maximum error. • to calculate the Trigonometrical ratios • of Obtuse angles. • to calculate trigonometrical ratios of • special angles (30°,60°,90°) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brFzBT6Ri18 • to calculate the Area of triangle using • ½ ab SinC°. • to solve problems involving Sine and • Cosine rules. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeMSUFsh8hs

Application oF Bloom’s Taxonomy SAMPLE TASKS KNOWLEDGE VERBS Learn terms, Formulas, Facts, Methods, Procedures, Concepts. Recognize, Memorize, Identify
COMPREHENSION VERBS SAMPLE TASKS • Find the upper • & lower bound • of the Area of • rectangle. • Calculate the • Max & Min error • in the length • measured correct to • 2 d.p. • Solve the triangles • using sine or cosine • rules.
VERBS SAMPLE TASKS APPLICATION Solve problems, use information in the new situations. Calculate, Compute, Construct, Demonstrate, Derive, Manipulate, Operate, Prove, Solve. • Find the area of • Triangle. • How do you calculate • the side of a triangle • given two angles • and any one side? • Solve the triangle • given two sides and • included angles. • Solve the triangle • given all three • sides.
VERBS ANALYSIS SAMPLE TASKS Analyze structure, Recognize assumptions, Breaking down materials into parts. Break down, Deduce, Diagram, Formulate, Simplify. • How can we find the • Max & Min error in • estimated values. • What methods can be • used to calculate the • unknown sides and • angles of any triangle? • How can we find the • Trigonometrical ratios • of special angles • without using • calculators.
SAMPLETASKS SYNTHESIS VERBS Putting information together into a new and creative way. Construct, Derive, Develop, Document, Generate, Pridict, Integrate, Specify.
EVALUATION VERBS SAMPLE TASKS Set standards, Judge with purpose, Accept or reject on basis of criteria. Choose, Compare, Conclude, Decide, Describe, Evaluate, Justify. • Describe how to solve a • problem. • How can you solve the • triangle using different • formula? • Using the ½ ab SinC° • formula, Justify your reason • for choosing the strategy • selected.
Solutions to Anticipated Challenges Solutions Challenges • The Head Mistress may not agree with my new approach. • There may be some students who do not want to work together. • Lack of pupil interest in subject. • Unavailability of teaching aids like projector, computer lab etc. • Unexpected holidays. • By Counseling & Convincing, I will make her realize the benefits of my new approach. • By Listening to them & Resolving their issues. • By Motivation & Role model,Individual assessment, & Setting clear objectives. • I will request my H.M to ensure the availability of the Teaching aids. • By taking substitution periods.
