Mathematics is the science and study of quantity, structure, space, and change. It involves logical reasoning and quantitative calculation. Math is important in everyday life for tasks like managing time, budgeting, sports, cooking, and driving. Effective principles of mathematics teaching include establishing clear learning goals, engaging students in problem solving and reasoning tasks, connecting mathematical representations, facilitating discourse, asking purposeful questions, building fluency from conceptual understanding, supporting productive struggle, and using evidence of student thinking to adjust instruction.

1. What is mathematics?

Mathematics is the science and study of quality, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek
out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from
appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Mathematics has been variously described as an ideal
reality, a formal game, and the poetry of logical ideas. mathematics, the science of structure, order,
and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the
shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation, and its development
has involved an increasing degree of idealization and abstraction of its subject matter. Since the 17th
century, mathematics has been an indispensable adjunct to the physical sciences and technology,
and in more recent times it has assumed a similar role in the quantitative aspects of the life sciences.

2. Why is mathematics important in life? Cite at least 5 examples.

Math is very useful in everyday life. Math can help us do many things that are important in our
everyday lives. Here are some daily tasks for which math is important:

1.Managing time: Keeping a track of time is very important to do all you love to d

2.Budgeting: Managing money, understanding discounts, and buying for the best price

3.Sports: Score, Time, strategizing to win.

4.Cooking: Measuring the ingredients to add to a recipe, kitchen inventory planning

5.Driving: Distance travelled, the shortest route to take to reach a destination

3. Determine principles of mathematics teaching.

-Establish mathematics goals to focus learning.

-Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving

-Use and connect mathematical representations.

-Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse

-Pose purposeful questions.

-Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding.

-Support productive struggle in learning mathematics.

-Elicit and use evidence of student thinking.

4. Explain the principles behind mathematics teaching.

-Establish mathematics goals to focus learning. Effective teaching of mathematics establishes clear
goals for the mathematics that students are learning, situates goals within learning progressions,
and uses the goals to guide instructional decisions.

-Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving. Effective teaching of mathematics
engages students in solving and discussing tasks that promote mathematical reasoning and problem
solving and allow multiple entry points and varied solution strategies.
-Use and connect mathematical representations. Effective teaching of mathematics engages
students in making connections among mathematical representations to deepen understanding of
mathematics concepts and procedures and as tools for problem solving.

-Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse. Effective teaching of mathematics facilitates


discourse
among students to build shared understanding of mathematical ideas by analyzing and comparing
student approaches and arguments.

-Pose purposeful questions. Effective teaching of mathematics uses purposeful questions to assess
and advance students’ reasoning and sense making about important mathematical ideas and
relationships.

-Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding. Effective teaching of mathematics builds
fluency with procedures on a foundation of conceptual understanding so that students, over time,
become skilfully in using procedures flexibly as they solve contextual and mathematical problems.

-Support productive struggle in learning mathematics. Effective teaching of mathematics consistently


provides students, individually and collectively, with opportunities and supports to engage in
productive struggle as they grapple with mathematical ideas and relationships.

-Elicit and use evidence of student thinking. Effective teaching of mathematics uses evidence of
student thinking to assess progress toward mathematical understanding and to adjust instruction
continually in ways that support and extend learning.
