Action Plan

Ms. Sana Dabeer

Senior Girls PECHS

Mathematics, level 10

Long-term Goal

Adopt 21st century teaching approaches to build deep conceptual understanding in mathematics.

Short-term Goals

Encourage students to achieve learning goals by forming collaborative groups or peer.

Cultivate the trend of discussion, sharing, listening when others are speaking and being responsible for one’s own learning.

Use of Bloom’s Taxonomy(The Incredible Teaching Tool)

The hierarchy of Bloom's Taxonomy is the widely accepted framework through which all teachers should guide their students through the cognitive learning process

Teachers choose the appropriate cognitive level for classroom objectives and a quality assessment is designed to measure how well those objectives have been met

Here are the 6 levels of Bloom's Taxonomy and the corresponding verb examples:

Remembering: arrange, define, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, state.

Understanding: classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, restate, review, select, translate,

Applying: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write.

Analyzing: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test.

Evaluating: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose compare, defend estimate, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value, evaluate

Creating: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write..

Anticipated Challenges and their solutionProblems SolutionStudents may not have scientific calculator

They will be informed in advance about the scientific calculator requirement and its model no. which is used in CIE

Parents may not allow their child to access internet at home or they might not have internet facility

Students will be allowed to use internet in computer lab. under the vigilance of a teacher.

Students may not be clear about the rules and regulations of Maths Quiz

I will use word processing to design a pamphlet to give clear instructions. View pamphlet

It might be difficult for me to organize quiz competition all alone

I will take my colleagues help in assembling and monitoring students

Resources
