  Reflection

  You should provide learners with conversion tables or methods like ‘King Henry Died a Miserable Death Called Measles’ when doing conversions from one unit of measurement to another. The glossary of terms such as radius and diameter should be reinforced on a regular basis. Teachers should provide learners with enough exercises on how to substitute correct values into a given formula. Teachers should also encourage learners to write a glossary at the back of their books of the different terms’ meanings as they complete each topic.
