Mathematics and Science
Hello, my name’s Sharon Lam and I am the new Mathematics, Science and Physical Education teacher at Hawker Area School. I graduated from the University of Adelaide with Master of Teaching degree last year, so 2022 is my first year of teaching. I am excited about working as a teacher at Hawker Area School this year.
In 2022, I will be teaching Years 5-6 Mathematics, Years 7-10 Mathematics/ Science, Year 11 Essential Mathematics, F-2 PE and Years 3-6 PE. This term, I plan to utilize Microsoft Office in teaching students STEM, considering it transmits educational materials and practice systematically in school. To better implement technology into the classroom, students will be conducting experiments using a virtual laboratory. For example, in the past three weeks, students had been exploring the chemical properties of acids and bases with the online interactive simulation. In Mathematics, I have been utilizing Class Notebook from Microsoft Teams to keep track of students’ progress. Through giving in-time feedback, students have a better opportunity in developing numeracal skills. For Physical Education, I will focus on coordination and group games to support students’ neurological and social skill developments.
