I would like to ask, how many periods a Mathematics teacher is supposed to have per day to enable him have time to Mark students classwork and assignment.

I'm asking this because I'm already losing my cool. I work like an elephant and earn like an ant.
I teach JSS1-3 Mathematics and Teach Economics for SS1-2. I am having to teach Econs everyday in each of this SS classes. Most times, I have 6-7 periods per day. At times 8 periods. As a result of this, I can't mark students note completely cos you give classwork and assignment every blessed day, and the next day u have to teach first thing in the morning and Also do same routine.

Mind you, I'm talking about marking for almost 70 students in a day for just only mathematics. I'm tired because the sch keeps complaining that I don't mark their mathematics workbooks. I'm up to date with Marking notes but workbooks is not same.
Also I don't have a double period in any of these classes that I teach mathematics

When I was serving, I teach both SS1 A&B and SS2 A&B, I tech them two different subjects each. Some days I teach from 8am till 2pm, the only rest I have is the break time from 11am-11:30
Teaching work is something I'll never do.

In a day, you should have one or two period. I'm sure you're working at a private school

Be strategic and reserve you energy
Tell each children to bring a red pen to school
Solve the questions and put the answers on board
Tell each student to mark his/ her work with red pen and make corrections with the red pen
After this, assuming you have 10 questions, do a physical assessment of student performance eg students scored 1010 should show by raise of hand, student that sore 9/10 should raise of hand.
You can also be strategic and ask student that got answer to a particular challenging question should show by rais of hand.
Using this strategy you do 3 things at the same time: marking, correction and identifying student understanding of concepts.
The own thing you mark yourself is test and exams

Such isn't Accepted here

Go to the school management and discuss it.
It all about being efficient and productive.
Teaching maths is ever evolving and new concepts are adopted for better learning and efficient teaching

No one method is it in education and you cannot use English strategy for maths

MrAmbrose:
That is pure wickedness, if the pay is peanut kindly look for another job and leave that toxic place.
