My Conclusion..

SUMMARY

We know our students learn in many different ways: visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, and social. Most of teachers teach the way they feel most comfortable, and that's not necessarily the way students learn. It's a missed opportunity if teacher don't use the way that a child learns best to hook them and get them excited about learning.

Hands-on practical works obviously engage kids who are tactile or kinesthetic learners, who need movement to learn best. Be found that, hands-on activities let students become teachers especially when students explain and demonstrate skills to each and this make they are validating their understanding of the material being learned and, helping their peers to build and master new skills.

Hands-on activities learning of volume of liquid also lend themselves to authentic assessment and observation, where students follow directions and use fine motor skills during center time. Hand-on activity is specially suit with students has fear of learning mathematics-subtraction. The fear is link with weak in gaining imaginary process concept, then, the most relative way to help students’ is by gaining their confident uses hands-on activities all day, every day. This will help teacher nurture students’ interest to mathematics slowly and will increase.

Indirectly, the learning of volume of liquid begins with concrete (hands-on minds-on activity) experience in realistic situations through measuring the capacity of liquid. standard units, which are measured in millimitres(ml) and litres(l) in the metric system. Meanwhile, non-standard units measured using various containers by stated the capacity wheather more or less. Materials from non-standard units are easier to obtain. It is good to give children experience with unfamiliar systems of measurement . With the hope, after students goes through these teaching activities, they would not be influence by the height of containers to state which one can hold bigger volume (shown on Video 2).
