Content materials about moving shapes for Class III

I have designed a content based material for grade level three on the subject Mathematics. The topic I have chosen is “Moving Shapes” under chapter five Geometry. The reason behind choosing this topic is I found it suitable to teach with the integration of ICT in my classroom because 2-D shapes are those shapes that we cannot touch or feel but we can simply see it. Keeping that in mind I can teach through representation in pictures and video form. The main objective is to let students identify and describe the movement of 2-D shapes as slide, turn and flip. I have chosen Microsoft PowerPoint as a tool to design the content based materials because it is an easy program to use and a powerful tool for giving a presentation. It is also one of the ways to captivate audience through use of pictures, video and animations. 

How did I create the materials?

In my first slide, I have designed a black background and then, inserted different 2-D shapes with different colours. After that, I have used various animations like spin, basic swivel, float in and fly in to make my presentation presentable. In next slide, I typed the title “how can we move shape”. I inserted three different shapes with different colours and added animations like line motion, appear, spin and disappear. Then, inserted three textboxes and wrote the names of movement like sliding, flip, and turn. After that I arrange the shapes and textboxes together and accordingly. I made in such a way that first the shape will appear and then only text because it will build curiosity in children whilst provide opportunities for teachers to draw ideas when pictures pop out without any wording.

In third and fourth slides, it have sliding concept and its example in which for the concept slide, I have labelled shapes and for one shape I used the animation line motion to explain sliding. I have inserted a textbox which explain the concept of sliding and applied appear animation. For example slide also I have applied the same animation. In next slide I have turn concept and its example where by, I have downloaded the picture of clock to show the direction of turn. Here also, I have used animations like appear and wedge. After these two slides, it is about flipping, flip line and examples where by explain the concept using picture along with text. In flip line slide, I have given two examples using two different shapes. I have designed a quiz and it includes slides ten till twenty eight. I have used the hyperlink and I have also used the applause sound for the correct answer in the quiz to encourage and reinforce them and wrong buzzer for incorrect answer to give warning.

When should the materials be used?

The materials can be used in lesson development and in learning activity. The reason is, in lesson development, the information input is addressed and the materials will aids and suffice the information input where by the teacher can teach the meaning of the concept along with examples  from the slides. It can be also used in learning activity and specifically for the quiz part because the learning activity is in quiz form. The quiz is developed based upon the concept included from the previous slides that the students have already learnt. The main focus of conducting quiz is to assess the students learning. 

Quiz instructions:

1. You all will be grouped into 3 groups of 3 members according to your roll numbers.
2. There are six questions in total.
3. Each group will get an opportunity to choose two questions.
4. If a group is not able to answer the question, it will be pass to other group.

Self-Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Nima Tshering and I am 21 years old. My village is at Phongmey under Trashigang Dzongkhag. I was brought up in Trashiyangtse because my father was working as a cook in school. I graduated my middle school from Tsenkharla Central School and high school from Baylling Central School. Currently I am pursuing Bachelor Degree of Education in Primary at Paro in final semester this year. I am the youngest among the five siblings. 

I like watching animated movies, listening trendy music of western and Bhutanese, playing table tennis and travelling. Some of the best animated movies I have watched so far are Raya and the lost dragon, demon slayer series, Coco, Moana, Kungfu panda, Kubo and the two strings and the list go on. Some of the trendy music I liked are dynamite, bhu nge sem, memories, shing ghe lhamo, ya taru ma taru and so on. I love playing table table since young age as the games room at school was near my house. I would daily go there and play which eventually helped me to develop interest toward the game.

I am introvert at first but once you know about me, we can be a good friends. I like hanging out with friends and family because I believe we should make memories and have good time with the people we love while we are still alive. I also love to travel to the new places and last year I went to Tsirang for the first time with my brother and sister in law. The good thing about travelling in new places is I get to explore the site, people, food and culture. 

As this is the first time creating a blog, exploring and posting, I kind of feel excited and happy. I really hope someday when I am in real teaching field, I would create my own blog and post about my teaching or my daily activities on daily basis. Not for the intention of earning or boasting about myself but for the hope that it might benefit some people from my blog. Many people are upcoming with many blogs to advocate people, connect with other world and to share their lively experiences with other people. 

Life is full of ups and downs and I have realized that people were not badmouthing but simply it was the fact because without these we can't face the reality. The reality is hard but we have to accept it and I have experienced a lot during last couple of  decades. There was a time where I lost some good souls and other time where I met with some good souls. I have also learned that life is good but it can be better by being perseverance, hardwork, pure intention and diligent. 

Happy Reading!
