Thank you for your interest in adopting cumulative review. Here are some questions posed by parents.
I cannot explain those problematic questions to my child. What can be done?
Get your
child to approach the school teacher or tuition teacher after lessons
to explain those concepts again. Trust me, as educators, we are more
than happy when our pupils are so involved in their learning and want
their misconceptions clarified. It sure beats forcing unwilling
learners to stay back for remedial lessons!
Do we have to copy the questions down?
Yes, we know that
time is limited especially with all the homework and extra classes
that some of our children are having. I told my ex-pupils that they can write down the question numbers that they need to review on the first page of the revision papers. Then they just
cover up the previous work and re-do on other sheets of paper in the cumulative review sessions.
However, with technology, I do suggest
that these questions can be typed out so that they may be re-printed
in the next cumulative review sessions. Moreover, parents can also
just change the names and objects involved to create a new question.
I have used this method in my classes to show the pupils that they
are still getting the same questions wrong simply because they have
not understood and internalized the concepts. So don’t be
surprised that with just some minor changes, your child is still
unable to do those problematic questions.
