nice

Hey mate, great vid. Civil engineer changing to be a Maths teacher, halfway through my masters, im 27. Had to leave the industry trying to get closer to a fulfilling job and better work life balance. Gotta be honest, about to start casually teaching whilst finishing uni, pretty anxious about knowing how to deal with classroom management starting off, any basic tips and tricks as a basis to start? Im also quite anxious about not knowing if i lack passion for maths, or if my own mental health is getting in the way. Appreciate any reassurance

Just FYI, there are some plants that do not have chlorophyll and are parasitic. So, ChatGPT made an error in this demo. Google it.

Here in 2024! Loved this video - I am currently studying to be primary teaching and this was a great video to calm my nerves as I get closer to my first prac! (only 80 days!!)

if we as admins who monitor students' exams while on Quizziz can find out what connections students use when taking exams? Like for example he uses VPN To open an illegal website to cheat in his exams

I had expanding brackets in the 5th lol

Hey Mark, absolutely loving your videos. I'm a student currently studying to be a maths teacher at university. I've noticed you've referenced a lot about lesson/class planning. I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to share your lesson notes? I'd love to get ahead of the 8 ball throughout my studies to get a good idea of the content I will be teaching and around the curriculum. Would be invaluable to be able to get some lessons plans from a teacher with 6+ years experience. Would also really benefit the students I will eventually be teaching. Something that I find crazy doing the research I'm doing about teaching, is that every new teacher struggles with lesson notes. It would be so beneficial to have a detailed rubric on lesson plans provided by DoE including (positive ways to teach different topics that students relate to).

Awesome, great tips, mate! Greetings all the way from Brazil!

Excellent

Is Masters of education or masters of teaching required for a high school teacher? and also, can a computer science engineering graduate take math as main subject to teach?

It doesn’t look like grade 11 maths. I learnt it in grade 6 or 7🙄😨

What world do you live in where students will not use this to cheat if we just explain to them that they are cheating themselves. You clearly have not spent any time in a real-world public education high school.

I like the idea of having a dream class and then specifically telling the class the dream class expectations.

Great analogy of comparing a teacher you know to a doctor you know, I never thought about it like that before.

Another great video! Great editing and great videography too! Thanks Mark!

Great video

Awesome video!

Just curious as what your opinion is on that thing they mask as "safe school program" they're trying to introduce in Australian schools, which is now well and truly within the Canadian school system?

Career-change PST on the Friday night of my first ever placement here. Thank you so much for your content, Mark. You have done wonders for getting me excited to take the plunge, and I think this might be my favourite video of yours yet. I see myself coming back to this video again as I progress into, and eventually through, this profession. Keep it up! Cheers, Mr Khaledwashere

I’m Allie

Can u say.......... How to become teacher in Australia from India 🙏🏻

Can a user select to have high school maths questions created (for 7-12) that are not multiple choice?

Great video and i love your attitude. You are what our kids need right now. Keep up the great work, i know it must be so hard and stressful at times but the difference you are making to not just the kids but society in general is HUGE! Im in my early 50's and i am 4 subjects in to becoming a PST. The thing that concerns me the most is the far left ideology the curriculum is taking on (how do you get around politics you do not agree with?) I just want to teach kids what they need to know to be a good functioning adult, not complicate things with race, sexual orientation, climate change, and other subjective issues.

I’m a student in year 10 in Perth and I am thinking about becoming a HASS teacher Because I really enjoy the subject And the HASS teachers at my school are amazing! I was wondering, Do I have to do ATAR English To teach a subject that is slightly English based?

I do enjoy your videos mark

U r the best man

Thanks 🙏

Hey mate! Appreciate your vids! Im 35M in QLD and considering a career change via a masters degree in education (will be a pay cut, but has always been something I thought id be good at). I know this question is incredibly hard to answer, but would you recommend the career? I understand theres pros and cons to each career, but given the opportunity to rewind the clock, would you do it again?

Hey mark do you offer online maths class

Hey mark i enjoy your videos they are very helpful thank you

Been away from teaching for a year now. your experiences are similar to mine though there are a lot of differences in terms of infrastructure and support system. Here you are expected to do everything including paper works that are not related to teaching. I'll try my luck in AU hopefully this year or in 2025.

For context, I am a physics student in the states and I am planning on becoming a teacher. Specifically, math. A list of things I'm afraid of: Students being so brain rotted from consuming short form content that they can not effectively comprehend a lesson or keep their attention on the material for a good amount of time. Brain rot is a heavy term here but it's how I feel about that kind of content and I choose not to consume it. The administration of the school limiting what I can teach. Since I want to teach math, I think it would be beneficial to cover some higher level concepts specifically at algebra. I think differentiation and integrals would be great to teach alongside algebra. Maybe this sounds like a bad idea but in the states linear algebra (matrix algebra or matrix math) is taught after you learn calculus. Calculus is after algebra. I just think simple differentiation would build a solid base for later. Maybe there's an assignment with only polynomial equations and no fancy exponential or log stuff going on. Differentiate the quadratic. I think that would be a good enough coverage of that. I would like to give problems from physics in algebra because it gives something for a student to grasp. Math alone doesn't click for some people. It certainly didn't for me until i started taking chemistry and physics. Very basic equations from kinematics would do. Specifically the quadratics for calculating position of a projectile. This is more trigonometry so it wouldn't really be taught within the realm of algebra, at least in my experience with my specific state. I would like to teach more intuitively what the unit circle is. This would be a brief aside. Obviously, children are not going to be learning multivariate calculus but they can at least learn conceptually what the unit circle means and what sine and cosine mean. They can learn that there are coordinate systems beyond x and y and z. I think just having this knowledge that "ok, we can take the perspective of the axis, or we can take the perspective of the line on the graph", is a good way to get a better understanding of the unit circle and what sine and cosine mean. I think bringing examples from interesting applications rather than simply finances is a better way of teaching because if we're really being honest here, most people do not budget their incomes. They spend it. Someone who is already good at math and has the motivation to do that will. But if I want to get somebody interested in math I think I would rather have them calculate how long it would take for an egg to touch the ground from a 20,000 foot drop, neglecting a bunch of stuff, just for fun. In order to do that, they need to know what a quadratic is, how to solve and manipulate a quadratic, and have some amount of problem solving skills. I'm slightly afraid of students not respecting me as a teacher. I am from a very very large city. I would be teaching in underdeveloped communities you see, and I don't want to come to a classroom that does not want to learn because of what is happening at home. I am not the most charismatic guy, but I can explain higher level concepts to people in a way that makes sense. I just hope these kids have the motivation and willingness to listen to me despite the troubles they might be going through. I'm not really afraid of parents as much. I know, saying they are adults and that they would be easier to handle is not true. However, i think I could find a way to make communication streamlined and much less of a hassle than what i hear from other teachers. That's my list. Idk if my goals are too ambitious. I hope they are not. I would like to make a change in the world.

Teacher, why it waiting for who are late even time out of each question unless the later click another option. One more when someone clicks another option, It show the answer immediately, it didn't wait for other who are late. I want who earlier wait who late together and then show the answer in the same time for each question.

Mark, your video helped me feel a bit lighter in knowing that i am not aline im havinf had thw same emotions as a beginning teacher. I am Mary and i am a beginning teacher in NZ. I find your videos validating of my current self as a teacher and thank you for being there as a torch bearer.

I have a few degrees from Canada and UK, and I just recently became an Australian citizen and looking for a career change. Is there a fast-track qualification I can receive in 1 year that will allow me to teach up to year 12 in this country? Or are all educational degrees here 2 years or more?

I want to switch to maths.

Hey Mark ☺️ Really appreciate all the advice and content. Thank you! Starting my teaching masters in March and I have a lot of ‘silly’ questions. 1. My handwriting is reaaaaaaly bad and it always has been (Never got my pen license in primary school lol). Any advice on navigating this and ensuring students can understand my notes written on the white board? (Or is the solution simply: practice writing neatly). 2. What do you do if you need to use the bathroom during a lesson? Is it safe/advisable to leave secondary school students alone for brief periods of time? Do you have to notify another teacher/staff member nearby? I’m sure these questions would be answered during prac, but I am trying to ask the odd questions before I have to do so face-to-face 😅 Appreciate it!

What would you say are the most common symptoms of anxiety and depression in the students you teach? Are there any obvious signs that you tend to me on the look out for? Thanks for your content. 👍🏻

Great video! Studying to become a high school teacher in Australia VIC myself, after having a break and am hoping to go back to uni again to complete LANTITE plus the GTPA (final year). Thankyou 😇

Amaaaaaaaaazing content. Keep it up!

Thank you for your amazing & very beneficial content ;)

Thank you again for your clear and practical tutorials! Greetings from Macau!

Thank you so much for your video!!! Greetings from Macau, China!

Right ✅️

Thanks Mark. For any of those out there looking for tips to remember students names, I personally use Anki (or you can use any other spaced repetition flash card app) and go to my schools data base and create flash cards from my classes school photos 2 weeks before school starts. Takes about an hour to put them in the data base the first day but then after that I spend about 5 minutes each day reviewing their names. First day of school and I already knew all their names. Saves so much stress trying to follow up on students when you already know them.

Do they have calculus in their program there for years 11 and 12?
