Teachers Rising to the Paper Plate Challenge

... at SJK(C) Sungai Jan
Year 2 teachers face an enormous challenge teaching the language and concepts of 'directions'(Unit 3). Teacher Nuurul used the paper plate challenge to create a series of games to familiarise the children with the words and symbols we use for giving and receiving directions. Familiarity with these terms is the first step toward a real understanding of the language of directions. Other teachers at SJK(C) Sungai Jan will follow up with a computer-based activity that gives the pupils the opportunity to test their understanding of the signs and sounds of directions.

Everyone was given a plate with a direction from Unit 3 expressed either in words or symbols. When the teacher said 'go' everyone ran to find their partner.
