Constructivist theory in teaching math emphasizes that students construct their own knowledge through hands-on, student-centered learning experiences. This approach fosters deeper understanding, improved problem-solving skills, and increased motivation among students. However, it also presents challenges in classroom management and assessment methods.

CONSTRUCTIVIST

THEORY IN
TEACHING MATH IN
PRIMARY GRADES
* This theory suggests students
construct their own knowledge and
understanding.
*This theory emphasizes the
importance of hands-on, student
centered learning experiences that
allow children to explore, discover,and
construct mathematical concept.
WHAT IS CONSTRUCTIVISM?

-Is a learning model that teaches hands-


on experience rather than lecturers.
- " young children learn by doing,
constructing knowledge from experience
rather than from adults telling them about
their world.
EXAMPLE:

A TEACHER TOLD THE STUDENT " FOUR


GLASSES OF WATER WILL FILL THIS
PITCHER
KEY PRINCIPLE OF
CONSTRUCTIVIST THEORY
•ACTIVE LEARNING -Allow
student to explore and discover
through hands-on experience.
•STUDENT CENTERED- The
teacher acts as a facilitator or guide,
rather than a lecturer, allowing
students to take ownership.
BENEFITS OF
CONSTRUCTIVIST THEORY
IN TEACHING MATH
•DEEPER UNDERSTANDING - Student
develop a deeper understanding of
mathematical concept through active
exploration and discovery.
•IMPROVED PROBLEM -SOLVING
*Student become more proficient
problem -solvers through hands-on
experiences and collaborative learning.
•INCREASED MOTIVATION
*Student are more engaged and
motivated to learn mathematics when
they are actively involved in the learning
CHALLENGES AND IIIUSTRATION
•CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT -
Managing a student -centerd classroom
can be challenging, requiring effective
strategies for minimizing disruptions and
maintaining focus.
•ASSESSMENT- Assessing student
learning in constructivist classroom
be challenging, requiring alternative
method, such as observation self-
assessment, and project -based
evaluations.
