1.2 PowerPoint presentation: Teacher development The principal asks you to conduct a short professional development session for Foundation Phase teachers. Prepare the content for a 5-slide PowerPoint presentation entitled: “Teaching Mathematics Inclusively: From Barriers to Participation.” NB. Each slide should contain concise, presentation-ready information, not long paragraphs. You should have only 6 points per slide. Each point must not exceed 3 words. You are allowed to include figures, tables, arrows, etc., on your slides. Your slides should cover: Slide 1: Meaning of inclusive Mathematics teaching. (2) Slide 2: How inadequate teacher training can contribute to poor Mathematics performance. (2) Slide 3: Three signs that may alert a teacher that a learner is experiencing a Mathematics barrier. (2) Slide 4: Four practical inclusive strategies teachers can use. (2) Slide 5: Three recommendations for continuous professional development of Foundation Phase Mathematics teachers. (2) [10 marks]
