MATHGUIDE FOR ALL YOUR MATHEMATICS NEEDS

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 1.     SageMath  is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more. Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers. ​ 2.     TED-Ed   is TED’s youth and education initiative. TED-Ed’s mission is to spark and celebrate the ideas of teachers and students around the world.

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 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
