Strategies In Teaching Mathematics
| Mathematics is crucial to a student and it is important to introduce the subject to the student in an interesting manner. Most people take a dislike towards math because it is taught just as an exercise in memorization. |
A few such strategies have been outlined below.
- Design multi-sensory lessons (visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic) : Visual support makes the concepts more comprehensible. For example, a lesson about fractions using manipulatives is more understandable than an explanation of the concept and use graphic organizers to visually represent mathematical concepts.
- Design hands-on activities: lessons that encourage active involvement motivate the students. The students can be made to explain their thinking process aloud to a classmate while solving a problem or performing the hands-on activity.
- Model the process: Talk aloud while solving problems on the overhead or chalkboard. This will show the thought process and help the students identify the common errors.
- Assist the students to identify key words in word problems that indicate a certain mathematical operation. It is crucial since the mathematical operations can be phrased differently.
- Write sentence starters (i.e., Perimeter is the…) on the board for students to copy and complete when they enter class.
- Post formulae cards around the classroom and/or objects in the class.
- Use real-life problem-solving situations to introduce or teach new concepts.
- Make interdisciplinary connections whenever possible. This makes it easier for the students to relate to the subject.
