Mathematics is defined as a science of patterns and relationships that reveals hidden patterns in the world and relies on logic and creativity. The two main goals of teaching mathematics are developing critical thinking and problem solving skills. Learning mathematics is most effective when done through active learning and problem solving. The document then outlines the key stage standards and grade level standards for mathematics in terms of the concepts, skills, and applications students are expected to understand at each level.
TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS
- 2. The Nature of Math and Goals of Math Teaching Objectives: Define what Math is. Identify the nature of mathematics. Discuss the Goals of teaching Mathematics. Give examples on how values inherent in Math can be integrated in teaching of Mathematics.
- 3. The Nature of Mathematics Mathematics is a science of patterns and relationships. Mathematics reveals hidden patterns that help us understand the world around us. Mathematics is a way of thinking. It relies on logic and creativity and it is pursued for a variety of practical purposes and for its intrinsic interest. Mathematics is an art. Numerous patterns can be found in numbers and in geometrics figures. Mathematics is a language. It has a language of its own. Mathematics is a discipline. You are familiar with lots of academic discipline such as archeology, biology, chemistry, economics, history, psychology, sociology; and Mathematics is a broad and deep discipline that is continuing to grow in breadth and depth.
- 4. Goals • Learning by doing is the most effective way of teaching Mathematics. Based on the K-12 Curriculum Guide for math, the two main goals of Math teaching are critical thinking and problem solving. Learning by doing is the most effective way of teaching Mathematics.
