Secondary 2 – Maths: Turning Maths into Music
In their Maths lesson, Secondary 2 students explored the world of number classification in a fun and interactive way. The session began with a hands-on activity where each student received number cards and grouped them based on their existing knowledge. The classroom was filled with lively discussion and laughter as students compared their answers and exchanged ideas.
Following the activity, the teacher introduced the number hierarchy, guided students through formal definitions, and used a Venn diagram to show how different types of numbers can overlap. To support retention and deepen understanding, the teacher challenged students to create a song about number classification. This creative approach was especially effective, as memorising the types of numbers is essential for mastering more advanced mathematical concepts in the future.
With enthusiasm, students expressed their creativity by transforming Maths into music. The songs they composed were catchy, easy to follow, and accurately reflected the content of the lesson. This allowed them to process and retain information in a memorable and enjoyable way.
To conclude the lesson, students participated in a mini-quiz on Wayground, turning their review into a fun and engaging challenge. By the end of the session, it was clear that learning Maths could be both meaningful and enjoyable when creativity, interaction, and critical thinking are combined. ***
