Top prize for innovative method to teach Maths

A TEAM of teachers from SJK (T) Ladang Yong Peng in Johor won the district-level science innovation competition held in conjunction with the upcoming Teachers Day celebration, Malaysia Nanban reported.

The competition, organised by the Batu Pahat education office, had participants from 50 schools in the district.

The team from the Yong Peng Tamil school took home the first prize with their innovative teaching method for students struggling with Mathematics.

Student welfare coordinator and team leader Ravithasan said they were inspired to develop the guidebook titled Flip of Fraction (FoF) after seeing many teachers struggling to teach fractions.

The method has been adopted successfully at the school and can even be useful for secondary-level teaching, especially in online classes, he said.

The team, comprising three teachers, has even conducted a training session on the method at the nearby Sri Bertam secondary school.
