Innovative Math Teaching Strategies

The document proposes using templates to help students learn basic math skills. It notes problems observed in students such as making mistakes with symbols and numbers. A template is suggested to guide students on placing numbers and symbols for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The template aims to help students practice and learn proper math work independently while allowing teachers to focus on weaker students. Citing research, the document argues mastering basic math is essential for future academic success.

INNOVATION IN LEARNING
AND TEACHING

BY: MUHAMMAD SYAFIQ BIN MANSOR (MPP181080)


Background Study
• Student’s background
• SK Taman Nusa Damai
• Year 1, 2 and 3
• The classroom consists of 30 – 35 pupils
• Year 1 (2nd class), Year 2 (8th class), Year 3 (5th class)
• They (student) said that they understand what they had learned.
• Teacher’s observation
• Students can told teacher how to do the math’s work
• When they do by themselves it is become chaotic
• Students not paying attention while teacher explain
• Needs full guidance from teacher – year 1 and 2
• Year 3 still cannot do the basic math’s work correctly
PROBLEMS
Based on teacher’s observation, these are the problems that have been
spotted on:
• Always do mistake on where to put the symbol – no symbol
• Sometimes do mistake on the math’s work (wrongly put the numbers)-
subtraction and addition
• Cannot understand the rule of math’s work (multiple and divide)
• Teacher – chalk and talk method
• Too many students in a class – different level of understanding
• Some students copy 100% the answers from their friend – just answer
with no math’s work
• Some pupils - need a full guidance

IDEA
• Based on the 3rd stage of Bloom’s Taxonomy- Apply
• Students should be able to identify which math’s work to apply
according to the questions.
• Teacher create 1 template of math’s work that can be used by
any students – addition, subtraction, multiplication, divide
• Why template?
• A guidance - To help students practice on how to write the basic
math’s work
• Students know where exactly to put the numbers and symbol in
the math’s work
• They can help and teach other friends how to write the math’s
work correctly
Basic idea of the
template

• This is the basic idea of the template for the basic math’s work solution.
• Students will know where to put the numbers in the correct places.
• Each box represents the place of numbers. The circle is for the math symbols.
• Divide question must use different template because of the complicated math’s work
– include of multiplication table with some additional instruction.
• Students will be able to do the math’s work alone as this template can be their
guidance
• Teachers can give more attention to a more weak students.
JUSTIFICATION
• This basic knowledge should be mastered by pupils as what Baroody (1987) said in the
Children’s Mathematical Thinking:
“Be it physics, chemistry, computer science or any other subject, there is a significant chance that
pupils who do not acquire an understanding of basic mathematical concepts could be ultimately
restricted in their academic achievements; therefore, knowledge of mathematics is an essential tool
in the society”.
