Why students fear from learning Mathematics?

1. Mathematics is boring.

2. Understanding of Mathematics takes a lot of time.

3. Scoring good marks is a challenge.

4. Mathematics has no relevance in life.

5. Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Mensuration, Coordinate Geometry etc. These are too many topics to understand.

6. Mathematics is abstract.Do you agree?

Creativity and Innovation?Mathematics is a beautiful Subject full of incredible Creativity.

What is Creativity?

What is Innovation?

Are the two same or different?

Do you think creativity is important in teaching?

Do you think it is important to innovate new ways of teaching?

Why a teacher should be creative?

Creativity and Innovation?Creativity means doing things differently.

There are diverse learners in a classroom. For catering to needs of all types of learners, a teacher needs to use blended strategies for making them learn and apply Mathematics.

Sometimes, it is required to innovate new ways of teaching.

Students today are techno savvy and come to classroom with some knowledge.

Transaction of Mathematics ContentThings to Remember

Connection- What? Why?

Communication- What? Why?

Recapitulation- Reinforcement of concepts

Self Practice

Remediation as per need

#1 Connection is Important

Connecting with students is key thing.For the effective delivery of content we must first work on establishing a connection

with the students.

Ideas!!!Warm up activities

Involve them in the learning process

Let them explain, make questions, plan a quiz, decide homework sometimes

Challenges- Teaching effectively-MindSetCreate a whole in the page so that an elephant can pass through it.

#2 Communication is importantWhat do you think?

Teacher has finished the syllabus on time. All students will get success in exam. They will be able to apply Mathematics when in need.

What is communication?

Why is it important in the learning process of Mathematics?

How to communicate Mathematics?

Sentences used while teaching Mathematics...

Class 10- While teaching a pair of linear equations in two variables.

Topic- Elimination Method

2x+3y=6 …(1) 3x-5y=8….(2)

● Class 6- Constructions

Construct a triangle ABC, AB= 6cm, CA=CB= 7cm.

● Class 9- Circles

Define a circle.

Using different strategies for communicating Mathematics

Ideas!!!Using Origami

Frayer’s Model- Term, Definition, Example, Non Example

Relating with surroundings

#3 RecapitulationIdeas!!!

Mind Mapping

#4 Self Practice

Ideas!!!Assignments, Worksheets

MCQ Worksheet- Google Forms and assessment via Flubaroo
