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...
