Content Based Material.

 

Name of the content-based material: Addition board

Class: 1

Topic: Adding 1 digit number

Creation of the Content based material

I have used the idea of addition box to create the material naming it as addition board. Here, we are going to use counters to add one digit number which are 1 to 9. So, I tried to make addition board with a rectangle shape and two cylinder shapes to make the hole for the counters. I made counters from small circles. Then, I used animation to where I added motion path down to let the counters get down the board as shown in the ppt. In this case I am adding 3 and 2 using the addition board.

Where and how to use the material?

We are going to use the material during lesson development under teaching of the main content. It will help students to understand how one digit numbers are added using counters visually and mentally.

This particular content based teaching and learning material will help students who have cognitive, intellectual disability and student with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The TLM helps those children to optimize their learning experiences by exploring techniques such as using visual representation, pictures and playing games related to the subject. It generates communication skills when they read out the numbers to their friends and boost their confidence as well.

It will benefit students from various learning techniques. As students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cannot remain still for a longer period of time causing troubles in classroom management, teacher can use the material to make them engage in the learning activities. This material can bring all children attentions as it is easy. It increases child’s memory capacity, and helps with fast logical and problem –solving.

Learning Activity

1.      Students will be divided into groups.

2.      Then they will be provided with set of questions of addition.

3.      They have to solve the question by drawing the addition board and counters as the teacher taught step by step.

 Introduction 

Hello everyone, my name is Sonam Choden and I study in Paro College of Education. I am in final year 8th semester. I joined the college in the year 2017 through government scholarship. Its been almost 4 years. I completed my high school from Yangchenphug Higher Secondary School, Thimphu. I took commerce stream and dreamt of going to Gedu College of business studies but I ended up landing  here. At first, as I have never dreamt of becoming a teacher, I didn't like this profession at all but as the time passed and as I started learning about the teaching and how children learn, I felt that this is what I want to do in my life. I am just excited to graduate from here and go to the field to experience the life of a teacher.

Talking about my family, my family consist of 5 members including me and my two younger brothers. My father works in the arm force and my mother is a housewife. My first younger brother completed his board exam this March and I wonder how he will get through. My youngest brother just started his pre-primary school this year. I  feel that as a eldest sister, I will be having so many responsibilities as soon as I graduate and get employed. That's what a cycle of life is and I am waiting for the adventures that are yet to come.

If I talk about my hobbies and interest, I love to play games especially cricket. I have played many national tournaments and club tournaments till 2019. I couldn't continue after this pandemic. My passion for this game will never end and if I ever happen to get a chance to teach my students after being in service, I would love to do it.  I also like to play other games such as basketball and volleyball. I have also participated in many games activities in college as well. 

My strengths are hard working, self motivating and dedicated to my work. I have to finish the work that I have started. While playing games or while studying, I usually tend to motivate myself saying that I can do it and I have to finish it. I think I have inherited this strengths from my mother and I look up to her. My weaknesses are I feel uncomfortable if I leave my work at middle and my mind is not at peace at all. I feel nervous while doing presentation if people keep on interrupting me. I am not able to say what I want to say. My mind goes blind.  

My short term goal is to get a job and help my parents to do expenses for my younger brother and my long term goal is to become a responsible  person and a person with good personality. My parents have gone through a lot and done a lot for me and I want to let them stay peacefully hereafter. To become a responsible person, I know I have to work hard for my family. I want to become a independent woman who is strong enough to face any kind of challenges or difficulties. I want to make my journey of life worth it.
