Task 3

My Task Asks Me to record frequently used phrases and

statements that each subject teacher uses rapidly. And to
fund the number of times that phrases is said over
several periods. I Have Chosen to look a mathematics
and what phrases are frequently used. Some of the
phrases I chose are X,Y, Answer, Formula, Equation,
Homework and others.

Here Are My

The Phrases that came up the most were the ones specific to the
class that I was in for example the terms X,Y and Formula came up
more than don't speak and look at the front. The reason why is
that the teacher teaching a certain subject needs to communicate
relative information for the students to learn and the words
formula and X,Y are related to mathematics and therefore help the
communication on knowledge.
