The opening ceremony was held on September 18 2023 at the same time as the release of FEU Roosevelt students who will go to Indonesia, especially to UPI to take part in the SEA - Teacher program.

The opening ceremony started at 13.40 and was attended by deans, lecturers and students from FEU Roosevelt. The opening ceremony opened with the Philippine national anthem followed by the FEU march, then speeches from the dean, lecturers and Mam Dena, the person in charge of the SEA Teacher program at the FEU Roosevelt campus. We were also given several souvenirs with the FEU logo, including tumblers, tote bags and FEU t-shirts. I feel happy because the campus and students here are very friendly to us. they were very enthusiastic about our presence.

After the opening ceremony closed, we were invited to tour the campus environment by Mr. Doms. he is very friendly and very informative. after walking around we were served typical Filipino food... and also typical Filipino cakes, namely...

I conducted classroom observations for 2 days starting from September 19 2023 to September 20 2023. During these 2 days I attended the class of teacher Roxanne, a mathematics teacher at an elementary school. Teacher Roxanne teaches mathematics and AP lessons in grades 4, 5A, 5B, and grade 6, but I only observe in mathematics classes because later I will only teach mathematics lessons.

There are differences in the number of students at each level. In class 4 there is only 1 class and the number of students is 20 people. in class 5 there are 2 classes, namely class 5A and class 5B, class 5A has 25 students while class 5B has 15 students. in grade 6 there is only 1 class with a total of 42 students.

Apart from differences in number, there are differences in characteristics in each class. Grade 4 students tend to be more active and noisy, they also really like to be hugged, maybe because they are still transitioning from children to teenagers. One of the habits of grade 4 students that caught my attention was that when they finished working on practice questions, they put their heads on the table and the teacher would instruct them to "head down" if the students had finished working on the practice questions given by the teacher.

Class 5A students tend to be active in positive ways, they are very fun and can be collaborated with. The class president, Jian, is a great figure and she seems to have good leadership. Class 5B students tend to be quiet, perhaps because there are only 15 students and their class president, Alexandra, is very strict about noise issues. I am quite impressed with Alexandra because she has a high leadership spirit and can handle class situations if the class is not conducive to learning.

Grade 6 students tend to be noisy and quite difficult to control, maybe because there are 42 people in one class and it's quite full in the classroom. Besides that, grade 6 students are very fun and easy to digest the lessons. 6th grade is my favorite class because I can mingle with them and they are like my friends but they still respect me as a teacher.

I started teaching practicum on September 21 2023. In one day I taught for 3 hours in 3 classes, namely class 5A, class 5B, and class 6. During teaching practicum, I was required to teach for 20 hours. I teach Mathematics for grades 5 and 6. for grade 5 I teach Divisibility Rule #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. for grade 6 I teach the topic of dividing fractions , places decimal numbers, comparing decimal numbers, ordering decimal numbers, adding and subtracting decimal numbers, and multiplying and dividing decimal numbers.

My final demonstration was held on October 11 2023. The final demonstration will be held in class 5A with Mam Dena as the person who will assess the way I teach in class. In the final demo I taught PMDAS/GMDAS material with the following lesson plans:

Republic of the Philippines 

Provincial Government of Rizal 

FEU ROOSEVELT CAINTA 

35 D Sumulong Hwy., Cainta, Rizal 

Grade: Grade 5 Learning Area: Mathematics 

1. Objective: at the end of the session, the learners should be able to perform a series of more than two operations  on whole numbers applying Parenthesis, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction (PMDAS) or Grouping, Multiplication, Division to solve a given problem.

2. Subject Matter

Lesson Title : Order of Operations (PMDAS/GMDAS)

Instructional Materials : Laptop, projector, cards/small papers with numbers and question

Time Duration : 60 Minutes

3. Procedure

Introduction 

• Greet the students and ask how they are feeling.

• Ask one of the students to lead the prayer before studying

• Ask the student if anyone was absent

• Ask the student "are you ready to start learning today?"

Motivation

• To get student's attention The teacher provides a "clapping" game as a start so that students can focus on learning. If the teacher says "good morning" the students clap one time, if the teacher says "good afternoon" the students clap 2 times, if the teacher says "good evening" the students clap 3 times.

• The teacher explains an example problem with two different ways of doing it and results

• The teacher asks the students which result is correct, method A or method B

Order of Operations (PMDAS/GMDAS)

• Teacher demonstrates how to solve, students observe.

Example: 

1. 2 x 4 + (8 - 3 x 2)

2 x 4 + (8 – 6)

2 x 4 + 2

8 + 2

10

• If students still don't understand what steps are used to complete the number operation, the teacher will give another example.

Another example :

4 : 2 + (10 - 4 x 2)

4 : 2 + (10 - 8)

4 : 2 + 2

2 + 2

4

• Teacher asks questions to scaffold students’ coming up with the steps on how the problem was solved until they arrive at the PMDAS/GMDAS

• Teacher provides exercises for students to solve on their own:

1. boardwork (1 or 2 students) then have the student explain

• The teacher explains about PMDAS/GMDAS rules 

Assessment

• individual solving of three problems Conclude the activity with a brief reflection on what they have learned (Activity)

Reflection

• why is it important to follow the order of operations when solving a problem?
