Week 4 reflection

Weekly Reflection (13 august – 21 august 2026)

This week was a productive and insightful phase of my teaching practice. On 13st august ), I executed my 15th lesson plan in 9B during the fifth period on the topic Parallel Lines Dividing a Transversal in Proportion. The lesson followed a constructivist approach, encouraging students to explore and understand the concept through guided discovery. Activity cards were distributed to help them visualize how parallel lines divide transversals in equal proportions. Despite the upcoming unit test creating a slightly tense environment, students participated actively and showed keen interest. During the 6th and 7th periods, I had invigilation duty for the unit test, which gave me valuable experience in classroom management during examinations.

On 23rd July (Day 18), I executed my 16th lesson plan in 9B during the second period on the topic Unequal Division from the chapter Parallel Lines. The main focus was to explain how three or more parallel lines divide transversals in equal proportions. Using a PowerPoint presentation, I demonstrated the concept visually and explained the geometrical proof step by step. The class also involved activity cards for collaborative learning, where students worked in pairs and groups to solve related problems. Their enthusiasm and participation made the class effective and lively.

On 25th July (Day 20), I executed my 17th lesson plan, which was a continuation of the previous topic Unequal Division, focusing on drawing triangles with sides in given ratios. I used PPT and activity cards to make the session interactive. Students were actively involved, but I noticed that some of them struggled with the geometrical constructions. I also received a substitution period in 9B during the fourth hour and handled it smoothly. The last three periods were exam sessions, during which I had invigilation duty.

On 26th July I performed invigilator duty for examination.

Overall, this week helped me strengthen my teaching strategies and classroom management skills. The use of activity-based learning and ICT made the lessons more engaging. However, I realized the importance of giving more individual attention to students who face difficulty with constructions and plan to allot more time for such activities in the coming weeks.
