Case Study 1b by https://padlet.com/plmgsp/aacra22g3a5b1vqp Mr Tan teaches Mathematics to a Primary 4 class. The school's Math department has developed an extensive set of resources for each topic, including worksheets, manipulatives, online games, and problem-solving activities. These resources are intended to provide teachers with a variety of tools to support different learning styles and abilities.​ Despite his 10 years of teaching experience, Mr. Tan feels overwhelmed by the pressure to complete all activities in the Teaching and Learning Guide. As a result, Mr. Tan finds himself rushing through concepts, often resorting to demonstrating solutions on the board rather than allowing students time to explore and discover mathematical ideas independently.​ (Appoint a scribe to jot down your discussion points by clicking on "+".) en-us 2025-06-24 05:56:48 UTC 2026-06-29 02:13:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/png/1f3a4.png seehf https://padlet.com/plmgsp/aacra22g3a5b1vqp/wish/3514719558 -          Articulate to teachers that it is not compulsory to use all the resources for their T&L. Be explicit with the teachers that they can choose to use the different resources based on their students’ needs.

-          During PD sessions, level reps/TLs/HOD/LH can help to lead sharing sessions to discuss what resources could be used by the levels, what takes priority and deciding the ‘must have’ and ‘good to have’.

-          Check in with teachers to see if they understand their students’ learning needs and guide them to select the right resources for their classes.

-          Check in with teacher involved on how his usual math lesson is like and give him suggestions like giving parallel questions as homework instead of going through all questions in class.

-          Also check in with the other level teachers if they share the same concern.

We need to be explicit which are the activities that must be completed (eg: manipulatives). For the remaining resources, we provide flexibility to teachers to use them to best fit the class learning needs (eg: online games for SDL, selected problem solving activities for LPL).


During level meetings, teachers can share the use of manipulatives to enrich discussions.

The curriculum leaders to check in with level teachers on how they are coping. May consider assigning buddies - more experienced teachers with newer teachers to the level.


May also consider going into Mr Tan's classroom to observe how he manages the class and give him some suggestions /support on how he can do things differently.
