No news is bad news
Last two lessons and the next lesson I could not find material in Khan for us. Thereafter wa are done with the MAB1 course. The material we were missing:
  • direct and inverse proportionality
  • making equations out of word problems (english was too difficult in Khan)
  • incomplete quadratic equations 
All-in-all we: were able to cover about 75% of the course with the Khan acadamy.

day 9: Back to basics

This time we do first some more advanced exercises related to chapter 4 in our Finnish text book. But then we get back to very basics with Khan. This is because the students have clear lapses in their basic knowledge.

I think Khan is at its best when drilling the very basics. Then there is no language barrier.

day 8: Monitoring
Monitoring progress of the students is in principle easy: you get a graphical report (see below). One gets a list of the names of the students who are struggling: this is the most important thing and lets the teacher guide students who are not able to ask for help.
