FIVE PILLARS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS

A) PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS

B)COMMUNICATION IN MATHEMATICS

C)MATHEMATICAL REASONING

D)MATHEMATICAL CONNECTIONS

E)APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY

CONNECTIONS

- Interdisciplinary connections

Students and teachers make many connections when mathematics active

and problem oriented

• Use of mathematic in daily life• Pattern in another curricular area• Link between conceptual and procedural

knowledge• Relationship between two procedures

• Understands how different representations connect topics in mathematics

• Organize their data in a table show how processes and concepts are related

• Roles of mathematics in our culture and society

• Shows the use of mathematical thinking and modeling in another curricular area

• A TEACHER’S STYLE ALLOW STUDENTS CONNECTIONS

BETWEEN MATHEMATICAL TOPICS, BETWEEN MATHEMATIC AND REAL LIFE,BETWEEN MATHEMATICS AND OTHER CONTENT

ADVANTAGES

ALAN BISHOP recommends classroom project: personal involvement in a particular situation

encourage the use of variety resources of materials

encourage activity at reflective level(researching , documenting , and teacher’s encouragement)

Conclusion

Pupils are able to see mathematics as an integrated whole rather than jumble unconnected ideas.

pupils become more conscious in the application of mathematics in real life.

teachers can foster connections in a problem oriented classroom.

(having pupils to communicate, reason and present their thinking)

APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING PATTERNS OF PRODUCTION AND BEHAVIOUR IN PEOPLE’S

EVERYDAY LIVES, ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS

Helps pupils to understand mathematical concepts. Application of technology: calculators computers educational software websites learning packages

Helps to upgrade the pedagogical skills in teaching & learning

The benefit of technology to students

creativeFeel confident able to work independently or in group access knowledge or skills Informations independently stimulate interest and responsibility
