Blog after Second Observation by Mentor
What was my opinion about my lesson?
In this lesson the learners were introduced to the use of “Quotient Rule” for differentiation.
The learners were taught the statement of quotient rule. This was followed by demonstration of using the rule through solving a numerical example. The learner participated in solving the example by doing different steps. After this they were given a hand-out to work on in groups of four learners and then in groups of two learner each. While solving the questions on the hand-out learners interacted by helping each other in the group. They were observed and monitored during the activity. Help was given to weaker learners.
