Model Drawing

Solving a math word problem is quiet a hard task for most students. Thus, specific strategies are used to help students in this approach.

In my opinion, “Model Drawing” has the greatest impact in building children's
confidence and intelligence in dealing with math problems. Most students enjoy
visual effects. Seeing abstract relationships, represented by concrete and colorful
images, helps in understanding, leading to the solution of the problem. For
this reason, we are using small portable white boards in all math problem
solving sessions to help us translate the word problems into colorful images.

 

Differentiated Instruction

Differentiated Instruction requires that we know our students as human beings and understand how each student learns.
I would like to share with you the following presentation posted on "Creative Educators" online magazine.

Modeling the stages of Mitosis

Every student learns the subject matter in a variety of different ways, thus several hands-on activities were done in grade 5 to engage students to learn about the stages of Mitosis. Kinesthetic students became kitchen chiefs and prepared “vegetables spaghetti” where its ingredients were used as the cell’s organelles. Musical students composed a rap song about the process of cell division.



                      Some students modeled Mitosis using clay.

Some students drew the stages of Mitosis.

Some students modeled the stages of Mitosis using wool.

Autumn in our eyes!

 

The weather is slowly changing and the leaves are starting to fall. It's Autumn time! KSPS students are doing plenty of activities and they like to share some with their friends at Ling Moor Academy, UK. "Autumn in our eyes" is a collaborative joint activity with our partner school in UK, Ling Moor Academy. Students at both schools will explore how autumn looks like in Lebanon and UK. For this reason, KSPS students drew, designed postcards, and captured videos to best show how autumn looks like in Lebanon and how do we spend it. In return, we will receive postcards from our friends in UK to see how they are spending this season there.

We promised ourselves to eat variety of healthy food paying attention to sweets and junk food.
