| Mathematics education has attempted to achieve a variety of different |
| |
| objectives: |
| |
1. The teaching of basic numeracy skills to all pupils
2. The teaching of practical mathematics (Arithmetic, Elementary algebra, plane and solid geometry, Trigonometry)
3. The teaching of abstract mathematical concepts (such as Set and functions) at an early age
4. The teaching of selected areas of mathematics (such as Euclidean geometry) as an example of
5. The teaching of selected areas of mathematics (such as calculus)
6. The teaching of heuristics and other problem-solving strategies to solve non-routine problems.
Methods of teaching mathematics have varied in line with changing objectives
Methods of teaching mathematics include the following:
1. Conventional approach - the gradual and systematic guiding through the hierarchy of mathematical notions, ideas and techniques. Starts with arithmetic and is followed by Euclidean geometry and Elementary Algebra. The other methods emerge by emphasizing some aspects of this approach.
2. Activity method – in this method the geometrical concepts are toughed by conducting activities such as paper folding and pasting
3. Rote learning - the teaching of mathematical results, definitions and concepts by repetition and memorization typically without meaning or supported by mathematical reasoning. In traditional education, rote learning is used to teach multiplication tables, definitions, formulas, and other aspects of mathematics.
4. Exercises - the reinforcement of mathematical skills by completing large numbers of exercises of a similar type, such as adding fractions or solving quadratic equations.
5. Problem solving - the cultivation of mathematical ingenuity, creativity and heuristic thinking by setting students open-ended, unusual, and sometimes unsolved problems. Problem solving is used as a means to build new mathematical knowledge, typically by building on students' prior understandings.
