Reflection on DAVE HAWITT's methods of teaching.

Reflection on DAVE HAWITT'S methods of teaching.

It was a wonderful experience of watching and learning new approach of teaching mathematics in an orchestrated way. Which shows us not only how to teach but also tells the way of classroom management. I liked the way in which teacher introduced the topic and grabed the attention of each individual sitting in the class by using loud sound of ruler.Every student was learninng attentively and everyone was anxious to see what the teacher is going to do.It was a drammatic way to teach.As first he introduced the simple subtraction and addition then introduced the unknown.He took students from a simple to the complex using patterns and assisiting them to learn by themselves.Students were not taking notes and teacher's response for not saying right or wrong for any aswere of the students, shows that teacher is not working as an "answere checker".In this way he was able to encourage students to do more and he made them able to aquire a full understanding of the topic.I feel teaching in this way could be helpful for students to be problem solver.Because students were self checkers in that class.Which is totally different way from traditional ways of teaching when teacher act as the instructer. This method makes the teacher as assistance who assists students' learning process .Which is the principal of teaching.This method was really relational and helpful for developing problem solving skills.
Overall, watching this movie gave me inspiration to create similar techniques of teaching different topics in mathematics, which I can impliment in my classroom to assist students learning mathematics.
