2nd group meeting at MacDonald's Seng Kang

Hi all,
Had the meeting at the same venue. Seem to be able to get the exact seats too. Perfect for our group of 5, laden with files, 4 laptops, bags and personal stuff.

Had a re-look at the information we collated. Found that it was information overload. More than 60 slides! Don't want to bore Dr Yeap to death!

Decided to work out a time line with 5 key initiatives in brief, the rationale for them and how these have impacted the teaching/learning of Mathematics in Singapore. We would need photographs and videos which can aptly capture the impacts. We would get back to our schools and source for these.

The group members were very much on task and we shared quite a few light moments in between snacking on our 'unhealthy' meals.

We have a good balance of 2 teachers teaching P2, 2 teaching P4 and one (me) teaching P6. There was sharing of ideas and elaboration of real teaching in the classrooms from 5 schools (6, if we include Vincent's wife's school). This rich interaction has enabled me to learn from others and given me deeper insights into Math teaching in the other levels.

Our meeting ended at 9.30pm. Somewhat tired, but happy. We can see the project coming together.
