My First Workshop


Today I start my first ever 3-day workshop in RECSAM. There are 15 participants from all over Malaysia.Alternative Assessment for Primary/Secondary Mathematics, the workshop deals with the various assessment in mathematics. During the first day, we discuss about the trends and issues in mathematics assessment, the different test formats, and rubrics. On the second day, we discuss about the art of questioning, journal writing and portfolio and project work. On the third day, we discuss about assessment in using ICT, and interpreting results.


This has been my fifth month here and I am glad that within that time I already conducted a regular course, prepared various papers and now this workshop. It is quite challenging to me yet enriching. I have been given the opportunity to expand my horizon and improve more with my craft.

There are so many things about life that we need to know. So many things to take notice of, so many things to explore and discover. Ahh, there is just so much around.

These pages will tell you why. Enter my world. And the world is a place where we can discover what life really is. Welcome.

I thought my legs kept me from moving, when so many eyes were upon me, I was enveloped with embarrassment and numbness. After the class, I declined to have my lunch, afraid that my classmates would poke fun at me. And yes they did, behind me (which i would learn later). That was the turning point of my life with mathematics. I really could not blame my teacher. Mathematics was something I detest then, and it was my waterloo. But that unfortunate incident, it dawned upon me that I better put myself together and redeem myself. Not to prove to my teacher that I am what he thinks I am, I embarked on a journey. And this I did with mathematics as company. Years later, I earned my degree in mathematics. When it came to my t...
