Lesson Study Symposium

The lesson study in primary mathematics event on 2-3 September 2009 was organized by Ministry of Education Singapore in collaboration with SEAMEO RECSAM. About 50 teachers from more than 10 primary schools participated. On the first day, I did a lecture on lesson study in primary mathematics in Singapore. Dr Cheah Ui Hock was the main facilitator. Teachers in the two research lessons - Siti and Niswan presented their lesson plans and the participants wrre forth-coming with suggestions to improve them. The second day revolves around the two research lessons - one on division for Primary One and the other on word problems for Primary Six. The slides of my lecture is at math.nie.edu.sg/T3
