MATH PROBLEM SOLVING

Image
SOLVING A PROBLEM OR PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS             I have a problem, I want to solve it. Say the problem is - Who Shaves the Barber?  To solve this, do I need mathematics? The answer is No. I just need to ask the barber and the problem will be solved. Lets take another example. I want to go on a vacation for 5 days. For that I have to take a leave, select a place for vacation, check how much money is required, check booking dates with hotel, decide mode of transport and make a time-plan of visits to different places during vacation. Now the question arises, "Do I need mathematics?" The answer is Yes. Money required, dates, distance to travel and time-plan need mathematics. This is the real life example of problem-solving in mathematics. For this you have to think, plan, reason out, apply logic and solve the problem systematically.              Writing solution and finding solution are two different scenar...

QUADRATIC EQUATION - NATURE OF ROOTS

Image
QUADRATIC EQUATION - NATURE OF ROOTS            This second degree equation in one variable has two roots (solutions). These roots could be calculated by using factorization or using quadratic formula. It is very important to note that roots of quadratic equations depend on the discriminant and nature of roots could be understood by solving the discriminant.

BOOSTING CONFIDENCE OF KIDS TO LEARN MATHEMATICS

Image
BOOSTING CONFIDENCE OF KIDS TO LEARN MATHEMATICS 1. BE FLEXIBLE -  Mathematics seems to be a difficult subject because teacher lacks flexibility in the class. Different kids learn in different ways. Some students need more examples, some are shy to ask and some are lazy to practice. Teacher needs to leave his traditional ease and be more innovative and flexible in attending needs of different learners 2. FUNDAMENTALS - Students lack fundamental concepts and skills in mathematics. Basic computation skills, mathematical tables, arithmetic operations, skill in drawing geometrical shapes are missing. They don't know the use of mathematical symbols and notations. Teachers need to work on these aspects. 3. PRACTICAL APPROACH - Make mathematics practical. This means to make students connect mathematical problems to their daily life. Students need to live mathematics and not learn mathematics. Measuring lengths and breadth of notebooks, cutting various mathematical shapes, counting and div...

HOW MUCH YOU CARE ABOUT MATHEMATICS

Image
IT’S MATHEMATICS – HOW MUCH DO YOU CARE? “Hey look at the clock, it’s 6 . Playtime!”, saying this Tom runs out to play. “It’s a 30 % Sale on Apparels, let’s go buy some new clothes”, mom tells my dad. “Do you remember my birthday?”, my wife says tauntingly. “Let’s divide the pizza into 8 slices”, Frank says while opening the box. I think everybody hear these lines sometimes in their lives. These are all numbers. Our lives, happiness, sadness, relationships, all revolve around these numbers. Sometimes these numbers are favorable and sometimes not. How can we then not like mathematics? That’s better said than done. I hope you are getting my point. Just like a boring mathematics teacher, I am reinforcing that Mathematics is very important in our lives. Oh dear! I called myself boring. But when I see those blank faces of students in mathematics class, I start to doubt my ability as a mathematics teacher. What then needs to be done is a matter of debate and discussion. Somebody may say tha...

MATH RESOURCES - MUST VISIT FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

WHY KIDS STRUGGLE WITH MATHEMATICS?

Image
WHY STUDENTS STRUGGLE WITH MATHS? 1. Students don't practice - "Practice makes a MAN perfect". Let me say "Practice makes MATH perfect". Most students try to cram mathematics. On the first attempt it is felt that they have understood the problem and its solution but they fail on second attempt because they do not practice. 2. Students don't ask - Teaching process involves feedback process. The teacher teaches, the students learns and then time is given to ask queries. Even teacher tries to motivate students to ask but the students won't. The teacher moves to the next topic. 3. Students are not clear with basics - Basic mathematical terms, symbols, concepts are not clear to the students. Attempt should be made to give tutorials on basic mathematical fundamentals. 

FOLLOW NATURE FOR BETTER MATHEMATICS LEARNING

Image
Follow nature and try to find the natural mathematical order. Visits to places, hiking, trips with family and friends to explore the logic, geometry and arithmetic. Let the kids handle of all your accounts, let them count the petals of a flower, let them explore the symmetry in the nature and let them explore nature and get first hand experience http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/summer-learning-nature-math-1.3674458 Also visit  http://www.mathguide.org  for mathematics guidance
