2. 1.Give examples responding to diversity when planning visual supports in teaching one
topic in mathematics
Increase the number of visual supports used
Its meaning that teacher must increase number visual supports using in the
class.Teacher can choose some visual supports as like real object,gesture and
graphic organizers.Visual support to explain in materials about circle.In the
materials circle.before learning in the class.Teacher ask the student to bring
object in their enviroment that shape as 2D-shape.And then in the class
student is asked to identification object that include circle.Student also can
bookmark internet sites about characteristic of circle.Teacher can make a
persentation or demontration about circle.
Example:To explain and identification characteristic of circle teacher ask the
student to divide circle be some part.So student can understand about
characteristic of circle.And then teacher using persentation or demontration so
its clearly to student.
Be sure that all students,including those who are english language
learners,can understand wording on visual supports.
Example:Teacher can write importance points as like “formula area of
circle,radius,diameter, in the whiteboard.After that,teacher give student list
of steps for props of circle area. And then solution in LKS.Content of LKS is
procedures to find area of circle.I is completed with figures as models.Its make
new information more real and clear to student.
Use Visual prompts to highlight essential information
Example:Teacher underlines important words about circle such as radius and
diameter.Teacher can show the props of circle or explain which radius and
diameter from the circle.In exercise teacher show or illustration about exercise
for student with object real so student get a visual support.
Provide individual copies of the visual support for students to have at their
desk.
Example:Teacher ask student to make the list of step that make their confused
and also student can checklist so teacher can help their problem.For
example,student confuse about props of formula area of circle so student
checklist point about formula area of circle.And then teacher known what that
make their confuse and teacher explain again about the points.
Use pictures to suplement written words on a visual support
Example :Teacher make a picture or draw the real circle in blackboard.Then
teacher make a poster which content of poster is the characteristic of 2D-shape
especially characteristic of circle and map characteristic of circle which hang
3. up in the wall so student can read and see what is expected.To visual
support,teacher ask the student to draw circle with some different measure in
carton.
2. Give examples responding to diversity when giving directions in teaching one topic
in mathematics
Shorten and simplify directions
Directions about solving linear equations in two variables.
When teacher give student task about linear equations in two variables,
teachers must be explanations to student how to solving linear equations in two
variables. The explanations must be short and simply, so student can
understand easier. For examples shorten and simplify directions, solving linear
equations in two variables using eliminations.
Example:
We have equations x + y = 7 and 2x + y = 2, now the steps to solve that
equations is:
You must clear up one of variable from equation (clear up y)
x+ =9
2 + =7
x=2
Then you must clear up the other variable (clear up x)
2x + y = 9(
x + y =7 (
2x + y = 9
2x + 2y = 14
-y = -5
y=5
Last, write the completion the equation.
So, the completion that equation is (2,5)
Give fewer directions at a time and have students repeat or paraphrase
what are to do (check for understanding)
In this point, when teacher give student directions, teacher must give one by
one of direction, don’t give direction all at once. And give fewer every
directions. After one steps is given, give a time to students understand
4. direction and then have student repeat what the meaning that direction.
Student can repeat direction in their word (paraphrase), if they more
understand with their comprehension. So the students now what are to do.
Example:
Teacher says “ ok, students, I have two equations that is 3x + y = 7 and x + 4y =
6. And now, what the value of x and y ? solve that equations with
substitutions.”
That directions is:
Give the numbers every equation
3x + y= 7…..(1)
x + 4y = 6…..(2)
in this direction, student can write with their word, because the number
of equation can change with other symbol, such as :
3x + y= 7…..(a)
x + 4y = 6…..(b)
Chose one equation, and then change that equation to other equation
3x + y = 7
y = 7 – 3x….(3)
student can use the other equation or change with different equation
from teacher’s give and give name the new equation with c, like this :
x + 4y = 6
x = 6 – 4y ……(c)
In second equations, change variable y with third equation
x + 4y = 6
x + 4(7 – 3x) = 6
x + 28 – 12x = 6
x – 12x = 6 – 28
-11x = -22
x = 2…..(4)
In here, students can use a equation and change variable x with c
equations
3x + y = 7
3(6-4y) + y = 7
18 – 12y + y = 7
-12y + y = 7 – 18
-11y = -11
5. y = 1…..(d)
Chose one equations, first or two equations, then change variable x
with fourth equation, let first equations
3x + y = 7
3(2) + y = 7
6+y=7
y=7–6
y=1
Students can use b equations and then change variable y with d
equations, so
x + 4y = 6
x + 4(1) = 6
x+4=6
x=6–4
x=2
Write the value of x and y
So, the value of x and y is 2 and 5.
Or students can say : the completion the equation is (2, 5)
From all of directions on top, student can easier to understand step by step
with fewer direction for every step and if directions is clear so students can
understand with paraphrase (check understanding student).
Cue directions with numbers (for example, “ first “ or “ second “ ) and
gestures
( showing one finger, then two ).
In this point, when teacher give student directions to solve linear equations in
two variables, the teacher can explain the steps to completion by writing the
numbers and show his hands. for example, if the teacher explains the first
step, the teacher can show a finger. if the second step, the teacher shows two
fingers. And so on.
Emphasize key words with intonations in your voice and with gesture.
In this point, Teachers were asked to emphasize keywords in solving linear
equations in two variables. Emphasize keywords is done by raising - lowering
the volume and tone of voice coupled with gesture. For example: teacher
6. explains that the linear equation s in two variable can be solved with 3 ways:
substitution, elimination and combination of substitution and elimination.
Teachers should have emphasized the word substitution, elimination and
combined because three words are the key words in solving linear equations of
two variables. And pointed fingers, like a finger for substitution and two fingers
to elimasi and three fingers for the combined substitution - elimination.
Make the directions into a list of steps that students can check off as they
complete each step.
In this point, teacher can make a list of steps the linear equations in two
variable completion for students to check.
for example: a list of steps that can be taken to determine the resolution of
linear equations with two variables using the substitution method:
The first step: Give the numbers every equation
The second step: Chose one equation, and then change that equation to
other equation
The third step: In second equations, change variable y with third
equation
Fourth step: Chose one equations, first or two equations, then change
variable x with fourth equation, let first equations
Fifth step: Write the value of x and y
Check for understanding by asking specific questions to prevent cultural
miss understandings.
After all of directions is given to student, make sure that all of student
understand about directions. Sometimes, not all student understand about
directions. So, teacher must give question to student about direction until they
understand. Teacher can use the other example equations, and then give to
student to solve that equations with use direction.
Example:
Teacher say, “ now, I will give you some equation, the equation is x + 5y = 13
and 2x – y = 4, to solve equations, use the direction substitutions method like
my explanations. Ok, what first step must you do?”
7. If students answer they now or can write what they must do at first, is that
students was understand first step, but if some students don’t know , so
teachers must respect that, and explanations again to students with emphasize
the important direction.
Next question teacher say, “ after you understand what first you do, now, next
to second steps, can you solve with second directions?”
And then so on to other steps. The conclude that teacher must make sure
student’s understand, so student can solve the task or assignments with use
directions are given.
3. Give a comment on following video by conecting it to the responding to to
english laguage learners when presenting information
Answer :
a.First video
Our group think in this video when presenting Information using
communicate meaning between pyramid volume and volume of a prism is a good way
because using demonstration and using the props so student can see experiment of
three dimensional figure , when explain the material about rectangular pyramid and
square pyramid we can say that rectangular pyramid and square pyramid have same
height and same base so student can assume, find and calculate from terms and
concept so student can understand with easy way .in this video also using visual and
props we think that is a good way to help make make a new information more real
and clear because they can see real objec like pyramid props , square rectangular
props, triangular pyramid,triangular prism, cone and cylinder. When he explain about
material and proving it we can using good facial expresion and he uses voice chang
to pressuring about highlight point. We think that good to communicate meanings of
new terms and concept by using gestures.
When he presenting about the way to prove he doesn’t rise his voice but speak
claerly so student can hear well because he presenting information clearly and people
can understanding about material that he expain that is about relation volume
between triangular pyramid and square rectangular ,triangular pyramid and
triangular prism, cone and cylinder.
He also using repetition in begining and the end of his explanation we think
that is good because student can acquire rhythm ,pitch, volume and tone of a new
language.
And whe he speak he doesn’t speak too quickly and also he use brief pauss at
atural point to allow learners when student hear the explanation about material and
8. about the way to prove the material, all the process that they hear.When he explain
the wayto prove the material he use important part of steps using pauses at natural
point so student can process that they learn.
We can see in the video when he write on the white board we think that he
write it clearly and legibly so we can see and understand what he mean and material
well,and we can see conclucion about material in the end of presentation and we
think that he doesn’t using avoid idiom.we tink that is a good way.
Summmariez the important point we think that in this video can add the
summariez about the important point because when we providing infrmation there
are some point that we think important to summarize because in this video we make
some experiment with another three dimensional figure,like triangular pyramid and
square rectangular ,triangular pyramid and triangular prism, cone and cylinder. We
think that we must add sumarize each experiment ,so studen can understand without
confuse and can emphaize key vcabulary of material.
b.Second video
Connecting video and planning s demonstrastions are :
a. In this video show increase the number of demonstrations is when find value of
phi. Four of point in the picture
Point 1 :(4.6 , 1.5),
Point (6.5 , 2.1),
Point (7.75 , 2.5),
Point (8.1, 2.5)
So result form count value point 1, 2, 3, and 4 is phi that show increase the
number demonstrastions .
b. This video shows part Emphasize or highlight important parts or steps in
demonstrations with word “this super important” and with visual support when
describes props, tell about across of object and around of object, show the
graph picture, show the point and tell about the value of point, and how to get
value phi.
c. This video shows be sure to use consistent terms and phrasing when
demonstrating consistent to show to get value of phi,
9. d. Point to steps on a written list as they are demonstrated is tell step by step
activity to get value of phi start when tell of proofs and finish by value of phi.
a. Tell all props
b. show across of object and around of object
c. how to use circle object to show how to get point in the graph
d. how to count from the point that we’ve get
e. we will get the same value of phi
e. This video demonstrations of activity to get value of phi (real applications)
