FOURTH FORM MATHEMATICS
Empowered
Learning
In Mr Hunte's classroom the majority of class time is not dominanted by the teacher but by students being actively engaged in the learning process. Students spend the large proportion of their time solving problems in order to deepen their knowledge of the content.
The main focus of the teacher is to create an environment for students to learn.

THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM
Over the years, I have utilised the FLIPPED CLASSROOM Model with much success. While I was doing my teacher training, one of the instructors asked the class a very thought provoking question that has stuck with me a decade later. He asked, "If I gave each of you a salt bread to each, would you all finish at the same time?" With certainity the class retorted, "Of course not!"
Sadly, in a traditional classroom this obvious and logical principle is usual not adhered to. All students in a class, to some extent, are expected to assimilate the learning material at the same pace. For many this unreasonable expectation can be quite frustrating.
The Flipped classroom does NOT eliminate this problem but it is a step in the right direction.
JOIN ME this year as we utilise the FLIPPED CLASSROOM Model.
CLASS SCHEDULE
MONDAY: Periods 5&6
TUESDAY: Period 7
FRIDAY: Periods 1&2
CLASS ESSENTIALS
-
A good mindset.
-
A Geometry Set.
-
A good scientific calculator. Textbook display calculators such as the Casio fx300ES-PLUS are recommended.
-
A graph book. (Only required for those students who do not have the required workbook.)
Mathematics in the Fourth Form Year places significant emphasis on preparing students to sit the CXC CSEC General Mathematics Examination. Therefore, it is paramount that students are diligent and focused during this year and the subsequent Fifth Form year.
