How to Fill Up Teachers' Diary
Below is a concise diary entry suitable for Class VI (WBBSE Mathematics) on the topic "Finding HCF & LCM of Three Numbers (কষে দেখি ১২)". Each entry is within 10 words to fit the limited space.
| Diary Field | Entry (≤10 words) |
|---|---|
| Subject | Mathematics |
| Class | VI |
| Lesson/Topic/Unit | HCF and LCM of three numbers |
| Expected Learning Outcomes/Competencies | Finds HCF and LCM of three numbers correctly. |
| Inclusive Teaching Learning Process (Using 4C/4H/Icon/5E/TLM) | Explain, discuss, practice using factor tree charts. |
| Activity Framed | Solve pair activity on HCF and LCM. |
| Remarks | Most students achieved expected learning outcomes. |
This wording follows the WBBSE teacher's diary format while remaining brief enough for the available writing space.
The two sections in the West Bengal Teachers' Diary are based on the School Education Department's competency-based teaching approach aligned with NCF 2023, NEP 2020, and WBBSE guidelines. These sections are not meant to describe the entire lesson; rather, they record how the lesson was taught and what activity was conducted to assess learning.
1. Inclusive Teaching Learning Process
(Using 4C / 4H / ICON / 5E Model with the help of TLM)
This section explains the teaching methodology adopted by the teacher so that every learner, irrespective of ability, learning pace, or background, can actively participate.
A. 4C Model
The 4C Model develops 21st-century learning skills.
1. Critical Thinking
Students analyse, compare and solve mathematical problems.
Example
Compare HCF and LCM.
Decide whether prime factorisation or division method is easier.
2. Creativity
Students discover multiple methods of solving problems.
Example
Use factor trees.
Prepare their own questions.
Represent factors using diagrams.
3. Collaboration
Students learn by working together.
Example
Pair work
Group discussion
Peer learning
4. Communication
Students explain mathematical ideas.
Example
Explain each step while finding HCF.
Present solutions before the class.
B. 4H Model
The 4H Model ensures holistic learning.
Head
Thinking and reasoning.
Example
Find common prime factors.
Heart
Develop positive attitude and confidence.
Example
Encourage every child.
Appreciate different solving methods.
Hand
Learning by doing.
Example
Solve exercises.
Draw factor trees.
Use number cards.
Health
Maintain an enjoyable, stress-free learning environment.
Example
Interactive games
Equal participation
Positive classroom atmosphere
C. ICON Model
ICON means Interpretive Constructivist Model.
Students construct knowledge themselves instead of memorising.
The teacher acts as a facilitator.
The learning process generally includes—
Observation
Observe numbers and factors.
↓
Exploration
Identify common factors.
↓
Interpretation
Understand why HCF or LCM is obtained.
↓
Application
Solve textbook and real-life problems.
↓
Reflection
Discuss mistakes and better methods.
D. 5E Model
This is one of the most widely used pedagogical models.
Engage
Teacher motivates learners.
Example
Ask:
"What is the HCF of 6 and 12?"
Students recall previous knowledge.
Explore
Students investigate.
Example
Find factors of three numbers using charts.
Explain
Teacher explains the concept.
Example
Prime factorisation method for HCF and LCM.
Elaborate
Students apply learning.
Example
Solve 'কষে দেখি ১২' independently.
Evaluate
Learning is assessed.
Example
Oral questions
Worksheet
Blackboard work
Peer assessment
E. TLM (Teaching Learning Materials)
TLM means all materials used to make learning concrete and interesting.
For this lesson, suitable TLM includes:
Number cards
Prime factor cards
Factor tree chart
Place value chart
Blackboard
Chalk
Flash cards
Worksheets
Textbook
Coloured markers
Interactive PPT (if available)
Example for your lesson
Topic: HCF and LCM of Three Numbers
Teaching Process
Engage → Recall factors.
↓
Explore → Students identify common factors.
↓
Explain → Teacher demonstrates prime factorisation.
↓
Elaborate → Students solve "কষে দেখি ১২".
↓
Evaluate → Teacher checks individual work.
Throughout the lesson:
Critical Thinking ✔
Collaboration ✔
Communication ✔
Creativity ✔
Students use number cards and factor tree charts as TLM.
2. Activity Framed
(For Measuring 21st Century Life Skills, Learning Perspective of Cognitive Domain, Behavioural Cognitive Outcomes)
This section records the activity designed to assess whether students have achieved the expected competencies, not merely whether they can obtain the correct answer.
The activity should evaluate:
Knowledge
Understanding
Application
Reasoning
Communication
Teamwork
Problem-solving
Behaviour
Components of Activity Framed
A. Cognitive Domain
Checks thinking skills.
Examples
Find HCF of three numbers.
Find LCM using prime factorisation.
Explain the method.
Compare two methods.
B. Behavioural Outcomes
Observes learner behaviour.
Examples
Participates actively.
Listens carefully.
Cooperates with classmates.
Completes work sincerely.
Shows confidence.
C. 21st Century Skills
Measures modern competencies.
Examples
Critical Thinking
Collaboration
Communication
Creativity
Problem Solving
Decision Making
Example Activity
Topic: HCF and LCM of Three Numbers
Activity
Divide students into groups of four.
Give each group three sets of numbers.
Ask them to:
Find HCF.
Find LCM.
Explain the method.
Present the solution.
Compare answers with another group.
Teacher observes
✔ Correct calculation
✔ Teamwork
✔ Mathematical reasoning
✔ Communication
✔ Confidence
✔ Participation
✔ Accuracy
Assessment
The teacher records whether each student:
Understood the concept.
Applied the method correctly.
Worked cooperatively.
Explained the solution logically.
Completed the activity independently or with support.
Example entries for your diary (Topic: HCF & LCM of Three Numbers)
Inclusive Teaching Learning Process
Engage through questions; explore factor cards; explain factorisation; group practice; evaluate using worksheets with number cards.
Activity Framed
Group activity solving HCF-LCM problems; observe reasoning, teamwork, communication, accuracy and participation.
These entries satisfy the pedagogical intent of the WBBSE Teachers' Diary while remaining practical for classroom implementation.
