Weekly Reflection WW03 - 1E1

1) Pupils were able to successfully recollect info on HCF and LCM.
2) Some students still contained confusion bet HCF & LCM which was clarified by teacher.
3) Square root lesson started out with nos. that could only be split into product of 1 pair of prime nos. i.e. 4, 9, 25,49.
-Following that egs. contained only products of pairs of complement nos. comprising of single prime nos. i.e. 16=(2x2)x(2x2)81=(3x3)x(3x3), 625=(5x5)x(5x5)
1) All students were competent in prev day lesson. Development included solving sq. rt. of 36=(2x2)x(3x3), Ans = 2x3 100=(2x2)x(5x5), 200=(2x2)x(2x2)x(5x5) It was noticed that by following this process of clear & gradual exposure to the varying degree in complexity proved vital in student comprehension of topic with ease.
2) Writing 1296 as a series of product of multiple prime nos. and writing 1296 thru prime fcatorization in index form, students discovered for themselves the ease index form provides for penning large nos.
- A little intro into the laws of index was also provided to students.3) Developing from sq. rt. students found the concept of cube root quite simple to comprehend.
