Effective Math Teaching Strategies

The document discusses effective pedagogies for teaching mathematics, focusing on the Think Board and Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) methods. The CPA approach emphasizes hands-on learning with concrete objects, visual representations, and abstract symbols to help students grasp mathematical concepts. Additionally, it highlights the importance of mathematical reasoning and conjectures, including inductive and deductive reasoning, in developing critical thinking skills.

Kaedah Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract
(CPA)
Kaedah Papan Berfikir
(Think Board)

• Giving students the opportunity to think based on


different levels of thinking, whether high or low.
• Make it easier for students to understand a problem
easily because there are 4 ways to answer that can
generate student ideas. Step by step solve problem.

Kaedah Concrete-Pictorial-
Abstract (CPA)
 A method that involves using actual object for children to
add, subtract, multiply or divide. Then, progress to using
pictorial representations of the object and ultimately
abstract symbols
The CPA approach can help children learn new ideas and build
on their existing knowledge by introducing abstract concepts
in a more familiar and tangible way.
Concrete
• Concrete is "doing" stage, using concrete
objects to solve problems. Instead of traditional
methods of teaching math, where a teacher
shows how to solve problems, the CPA
approach brings concepts to life by allowing
children to experience and handle physical
objects themselves. Every new abstract concept
is first learned with "concrete" or physical
experience.
Example :

 For example, if the problem is how many bear toy are left
after giving a bear toy to his friend. The students will hold
the bear toy first before giving it to their friend.

Question “Jenny gave her friend a teddy bear. So, how


many bear statues are left?”
Pictorial
• Pictorial is the "seeing" level, using object
representations to solve the problem. This level
encourages children to make mental connections
between physical objects and abstract levels of
understanding by drawing or looking at pictures,
circles, diagrams or models that represent the objects
in the problem.
• It takes students to illustrate the problems in terms of
visual in order to generate the solvings
Examples :
• Drawing models makes it easier for children to understand
concepts. They traditionally find more difficult, such as
fractions, because it helps them visualize problems and make
them easier.
 Question "How many more cubes are needed to make it 10
cubes?"
Abstract

 Abstract is the "symbolic" stage, where children are


able to use abstract symbols to model problems.

 Children are introduced to concepts at the symbolic


level, using numbers, notation, and mathematical
symbols, for example +, -, x, / to show addition,
multiplication, or division.
Examples :

There are 6 apples in a


box. How many apples
in 4 boxes ?

Learning Mathematics Via
ARM Model

Action: I used various strategies which I


have learnt from this course and also tried
out some new strategies/activities both in
the classroom and in the field. For
example, incorporated dance in the PE
lesson, conducted “Formation of Fractions”
with the pupils
Reflection: I did reflection in the end
of every lesson. This had greatly helped
me to understand my strengths and
areas for development. In addition, I
had discussion with my colleagues in
order to get deeper insights on my
teaching.
‘Modelling: I demonstrated some skills
such as collaborating with each other in
my teaching. For instance, I assigned
some pupils as “ambassadors” to help
their peers in other groups with my
monitoring.
MATHEMATICAL REASONING VIA
INVESTIGATIONS OF CONJECTURES

WHAT IS MATHEMATICAL
REASONING??

● A critical skill that enables students to analyze a


given hypothesis without any reference to a
particular context or meaning.
● Mathematical critical thinking and logical
reasoning are important skills that are required to
solve maths reasoning questions.
TWO MAJOR TYPES IN MATHEMATICAL REASONING

WHAT IS
CONJECTURE?
A mathematical statement that has not yet been rigorously
proved. Conjectures arise when one notices a pattern that holds
true for many cases. However, just because a pattern holds true
for many cases does not mean that the pattern will hold true
for all cases.
