TEACHING FORUM BRUNEI I

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah Hiwabarkatuh

Welcome to Brunei 1 teachers' blog!

Alhamdulilah, with God's will a blog has been created for teachers from Brunei 1 following several teaching forums which were focusing on Mathematics and issues pertaining to the subject.

The 1st teaching forum which was conducted on the 4th Feb 2009 at SR Mabohai. PPKD of Brunei 1, Cikgu Hj Jaapar bin Hj Ahmad presented his report on the Mathematics progress of the pupils Yr 6 2009 based on the students' midyear and end of year exam results 2008 and it was suggested by PPKD that schools which performed well during the PSR 2008, to share their ideas and tips on how to achieve better results.

Following that, a list of teaching forums for the yr 6 maths teachers were prepared aiming to improve and expose the teachers with different ideas, approaches, methods of teaching and evaluating pupils. Hopefully by having these continuous teaching forums, students from Brunei 1 will excel in their mathematics PSR result in the years to come. Amin....
