Using Video Clips to enhance the teaching of finding the area of Composite Shapes in Grade - 5 Class.


It was on 6th of September,2019, I taught this lesson. It was for class five mathematics on the topic Area of composite shapes.   The main aim to teach the topic was to make familiar on the topic and how to find the area by dividing the irregular shapes into familiar shapes. The activities were divided in to three parts like class discussion, class presentation and a video lesson. In the first activity the children were asked to estimate the area of their geometry box followed by class discussion.
The class presentation was made by explaining the meaning of a composite shapes with the help of a diagram and later followed by video lesson. They were asked to watch the video and later carried an activity to find the area of a composite shape by dividing it into other shapes..  
It was a valuable and informative learning experience for me. Firstly I got lots of video lesson as per children’s standard. The time allocated for each activity was sufficient.   I actually did not expect to be able to arrange this as well as I did.  Although video presentation was difficult for few children to understand the language due to tone of voice and limited vocabularies, they really did enjoy watching it.
After watching the video, most of the children started asking lots of question and I have to explain it further which indicates that they have understood the lesson well. Incorporating video lesson as a part of an activity is more enjoyable which in turn helps the children to get engage meaningfully without diverting their attention and hence forth I have to select the interesting lesson by adapting to new strategy in teaching and learning.

    Dear Singye
    You have shared us with a beautiful idea of teaching finding of area for composite shape.
    I too got great idea from your write-ups. So do keep it up.

    Good use of ICT tools in your lesson. You got many questions from your children. These indicates that
    1. Maybe they have not understood what you said.
    2. Maybe they have understood what you said.
    With this point I suggest you to use simple language with less time with students level.

    Very interesting lesson sir.
    Mathematics is one subject where we can teach everything through ICT but sadly at times the net doesn't work and we fail.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Integrating audiovisual in our teaching has very strong impact on our learners provided we select the clips with simple language at par with the students standard. From my point of view the clips should be brief and to the point...otherwise we lose the focus. As per your reflection when children asked lot of questions there are two ways to consider:
    1. Your children might have developed curiosity and wanted to know more on the topic.
    2. Other point may be they didn't understand the concept clearly.
    Now the doing critical analysis lies in your hand as you were present during the course of the session. Great work.

    Great lesson delivered sir. Your Mathematics lesson on composite shape taught using ICT strategy is really appreciated one.

    You have used a variety of strategy in your lesson which is extremely excellent. I felt it was really a good idea and have learned a lot from your lesson.

    Keep exploring further and posting further.

    Teaching a lesson through video can enhanced children's learning as they can visualize and retain more as compared to lecture method.It was a very interesting lesson and seems children enjoyed a lot. keep exploring more ideas in future too.
