Today was the first day we taught our maths lesson to the kids. We got to teach a Grade 7 class, which had pupils ranging from ages 12-16. It is fair to say that they were all extremely talented and intelligent at maths. They quickly finished the first treasure hunt task so we had to give them all 3 that we had prepared. They seemed to really enjoy the maths problems which came as a surprise to us and also seemed to cope well with the difficult Scottish words. We finished off the lesson by teaching them some Scottish words and answering the questions they had.
After break we got put with Grade 5B, which didn't have a teacher today. We handled the class well considering the difficult situation we found ourselves in. We did a bingo lesson with these kids which they thoroughly enjoyed. They found some of the maths slightly more challenging due to the younger age of the pupils, nevertheless they had fun and we finished off with a game of hangman with Scottish words.
We also found out that two of the kids were amazing rappers and they rapped the whole 4 minutes and 14 seconds of Eminem's Mockingbird.
