Math as a pedagogy
-
-
General objectives
to make pupils appreciate the power, beauty and usefulness of math
-
to make pupils confident in using math to analyze and solve problems in school and real life situations
-
-
Innovative activities
Use technology- digital cameras to record children's mathematical work, in their play and in planned activities, and then use the photographs to aid discussions and reflections with children, curriculum planning, and communication with parents.
Use dramatizations - Invite children pretend to be in a ball (sphere) or box (rectangular prism), feeling the faces, edges, and corners and to dramatize simple arithmetic problems such as: Three frogs jumped in the pond, then one more, how many are there in all?
Use children's bodies- Suggest that children show how many feet, mouths, and so on they have. When asked to show their "three arms," they respond loudly in protest, and then tell the adult how many they do have and show ("prove") it
Bring mathematics everywhere you go in your classroom, from counting children at morning meeting to setting the table, to asking children to clean up a given number or shape of items.
Ask children to describe how they would figure out problems such as how many snacks they would need if a guest were joining the group. Encourage them to use their own fingers or whatever else might be handy for problem solving.
