FIVE PILLARS IN TEACHING AND

LEARNING MATHEMATICS
A) PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS

B)COMMUNICATION IN MATHEMATICS

C)MATHEMATICAL REASONING

D)MATHEMATICAL CONNECTIONS

E)APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
 CONNECTIONS

- Interdisciplinary connections
 Students and teachers make many
connections when mathematics active
and problem oriented
• Use of mathematic in daily life
• Pattern in another curricular area
• Link between conceptual and procedural
knowledge
• Relationship between two procedures
• Understands how different representations
connect topics in mathematics
• Organize their data in a table show how
processes and concepts are related
• Roles of mathematics in our culture and
society
• Shows the use of mathematical thinking and
modeling in another curricular area
• A TEACHER’S STYLE ALLOW STUDENTS
CONNECTIONS

BETWEEN MATHEMATICAL TOPICS,

BETWEEN MATHEMATIC AND REAL LIFE,
BETWEEN MATHEMATICS AND OTHER CONTENT
 ADVANTAGES
ALAN BISHOP recommends classroom project:
 personal involvement in a particular situation

 encourage the use of variety resources of

materials

 encourage activity at reflective level

(researching , documenting , and teacher’s
encouragement)
 Conclusion
Pupils are able to see mathematics as an
integrated whole rather than jumble
unconnected ideas.
 pupils become more conscious in the
application of mathematics in real life.
 teachers can foster connections in a problem
oriented classroom.
(having pupils to communicate, reason and
present their thinking)
APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING PATTERNS OF
PRODUCTION AND BEHAVIOUR IN PEOPLE’S
EVERYDAY LIVES, ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS
 Helps pupils to understand mathematical
concepts.
Application of technology:
calculators
computers
educational software
websites
learning packages

Helps to upgrade the pedagogical skills in teaching & learning

The benefit of technology to students

creative
Feel confident
able to work independently or in group
access knowledge or skills
Informations independently
stimulate interest and responsibility
