CHAPTER 1- PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS

LESSON 1- SIX PRINCIPLES FOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS

1. Equity

Excellence in mathematics education requires equity-high expectations


and strong support for all students.

All students regardless their personal characteristics, background or physical


challenges, can learn mathematics when they have access to high-quality mathematics
instruction. Equity does not mean that every student should receive identical instruction.
Rather, it demands that reasonable and appropriate accommodations be made and
appropriately challenging content be included to promote access and attainment for all
students.
2. Curriculum

A curriculum is more than a collection of activities; it must be coherent,


focused on important mathematics, and well-articulated across the grades.

In a coherent curriculum, mathematics ideas are linked to and build on one


another so that students understanding and knowledge deepen and their ability to apply
mathematics expands. An effective mathematics curriculum focuses on important
mathematics that will prepare students for continued study and for solving problems in a
variety of school, home and work setting. A well-articulated curriculum challenges
students to learn increasingly more sophisticated mathematical ideas as they continue
their studies.

*Contents of the mathematics curriculum

(Primary Level)

1. Number

2. Shape and Space

3. Measurement

4. Data handling

5. Algebra

(Secondary Level)

1. Algebra
2. Geometry
3. Trigonometry
4. Statistics and probability
5. Calculus

3. Teaching

Effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students


know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well.

Students understanding of mathematics, their ability to use it to solve problems


and their confidence in doing mathematics are all shaped by the teaching they
encounter improve in school. To be effective, teachers must understand and be
committed to students as learners of mathematics. They must know and understand
deeply the mathematics they are teaching and be able to draw on that knowledge with
flexibility in their teaching tasks. Teachers must be supported with ample opportunities
and resources to enhance and refresh their knowledge.

4. Learning

Students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building


new knowledge from experience and previous knowledge.

Research has solidly established the important role of conceptual understanding


in the learning of mathematics. By aligning factual knowledge and procedural
proficiency with conceptual knowledge, students can become effective learners. They
will be able to recognize the importance of reflecting on their thinking and learning from
their mistakes. Students become competent and confident in their ability to tackle
difficult problems and willing to persevere when tasks are challenging.

5. Assessment

Assessment should support the learning of important mathematics and


furnish useful information to both teachers and students.

When assessment is an integral part of mathematics instruction, it contributes


significantly to students’ mathematics learning. Assessment should inform and guide
teachers as they make instructional decisions. The tasks teachers select for
assessment convey a message to students about what kinds of mathematical
knowledge and performance are valued. Feedback from assessment tasks helps
students in setting goals, assuming responsibility for their own learning and becoming
more independent learners.

6. Technology

Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences


the mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning.

Students can develop deeper understanding of mathematics with the appropriate


use of technology. Technology can help support investigation by students in every area
of under mathematics and allow them to focus on decision making reflection, reasoning,
and problem solving. The existence, versatility, and power of technology make it
possible and necessary to re-examine what mathematics students should learn as well
as how they can best learn it.
