scored 61%. Man scores the lowest marks with only 2% while
Sophia scores the higest
marks with 61%.
Based on the overall marks that the Year 3 Remedial Class pupils
have scored,
80% of the pupils scores below than 40%. That means majority of
the pupils unable to
cope with the mathematic basic skills.
There are some reasons that caused the results to be as it gets.
Comparing the
marks by Man and Sophia, there is a huge gap between the marks
of both of these
pupils. Man is a pupil that has a serious problem in learning.
He cannot recognize the
first skill that is tested in the diagnostic test that is
pre-number while as Sophia she
manages to score marks in the earlier skills that are from
pre-number until addition skill.
Julia have problems with arranging numbers according to
ascending order or
descending order because she cannot remember the place of the
number in order even
though she can say the order verbally. Paul and Shane face the
same problem with
Sophia that is on subtraction skill. All the weak areas that the
pupils face is where the
teacher will start give them lesson. Man will learn about
pre-number, Julia will learn
number 1 to 9 while Paul, Shane and Sophia will learn
subtraction up 10. The
weaknesses that they faced show that their basic knowledge
either in pre number and
subtraction is not enough. Besides that, while doing their test
they are not focused with
the task because they are easily distracted by noise or those
who walks passed by the
class. That is why the teacher needs to prepare a lesson plan
that able to attract their
attention and easy for them to cope with the lesson.
