The Emirati students are all smiles for the undiluted supported they get on weekly basses from math's teachers after school which has recorded a remarkable improvement in their mathematical solving skills especially in algebra
Fractions are a part of a whole, But there's a certain way to accomplish your goal, To understand fractions, But they're like a massive contraptions! There are 3 types, Mixed, Improper and proper, just like stars & stripes, Some are equivalent, Finding them is a quite ambivalent Fractions help to divide, And you should always abide, Fractions might be frustrating, Because they're used for rating But after-all its a topic And for whats coming ahead, its microscopic! -Aarav Pradhan 8-B2 Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality. Students in year 7 and 8 creatively and innovatively linking math's topics to real-life. Innovative teaching in MathsI truly believe and try to practice the saying of Benjamin Franklin - “Tell me and I forget, teach me I may remember , involve me and I learn”. Involving the student in learning and solving are key not just to build a strong foundation of skills but also to develop a significant and sustained interest in Mathematics. Effective Mathematics learning requires the involvement of both student and the teacher in interactive conversations about solving math problems taken from a textbook and linking it to real-world applications. Real-world applications often provide great insights into innovative methods of learning and internalizing learning. In a recent lesson, when I was teaching about quadrilaterals and discussing innovative ideas of learning quadrilaterals, I proposed an idea and challenged students to come up their ideas. We started with a brainstorming session and discussed the use of flip cards, key chains, dart wheels, board games and more as potential ideas. After discussing all ideas and with significant involvement of everyone, students of year 7 came up with some excellent ideas for making resources for learning concepts of quadrilaterals, triangles, proportions and other topics. The ideas included using plastic cups to flip and match terms, using a dart wheel to learn concepts of proportions and more. The student’s ability to recall concepts was significantly higher underlining that involvement is key to learning. This is also in line with takeaways from some innovation Professional Development courses I attended recently. |
