5th Week Relfection

In this week, we were introduced about the notion of teaching aids and its importance.

Teachers in school have to prepare the teaching aids first before the class begin. The teaching aids must be catchy and interesting so that teachers will be able to grasp the pupils' attention in the lesson. Through this, an effective learning can be achieved which will produce intellectual learners.

Well, there are some teaching aids that teachers can produce such as:

Flash Cards

Introduction

Flash cards are useful for drilling new letters, syllables, words, and other information. They are normally used in a classroom, but can also be used more informally.

Definition

A flash card is part of a set of cards on which are written items to be studied. They are “flashed” (shown quickly) one by one to a learner to elicit a quick response.

Uses

Here are some other uses for flash cards:


  • Use two matching sets of them with games such as How to play the Memory game .
  • Have learners practice tracing the characters on the cards with their fingers.

  • Make up your own games using the cards.
Features

Here are some features of flash cards:


  • Flash cards are sets of cards printed with information to be studied, such as

    • definitions
    • formulas
    • letters
    • multiplication tables
    • prefixes
    • syllables, or
    • words.

  • If there is an answer or solution to what appears on the front of the card, it is printed on the back so that the person showing the cards can see if the learner's answer is correct.

    Examples:
    • The front of a card shows a mathematics problem. The back shows the answer to the problem.
    • The front of a card shows a term to be defined. The back shows the definition.
