3. PEDAGOGY OF MATHEMATICS
1. Providing students with an understanding of general objectives is the first step.
You could outline the key points in your lesson discussion. This would help
students stay focused on the main ideas of your discussion and also provide a
summary for others who may have missed parts of the discussion.
2. To help students develop critical thinking skills, you could outline the important
information in your lesson plan and discuss it in a way that makes it easy to
understand.
3. To foster a love of learning in students, you could provide opportunities for
students to practice their learning through activities like taking quizzes and
assignments.
4. To encourage student creativity and innovation, you could include creative
activities in your lesson plan such as creating posters or creating slideshows for
class presentations.
5. Class discussion of the objective of the lesson
6. To introduce students to the concept of scientific inquiry
7. Introducing and discussing general objectives for this lesson
4. PEDAGOGY OF MATHEMATICS
Specific statements of the level of learning The great way of the level of
learning is:-
1. Students will be able to understand the basics of scientific inquiry.
2. They will be able to identify key components of a scientific
investigation.
3. They will be able to apply their knowledge of science in various
contexts.
4. Grade level This lesson would be best taught at the high school
education level.
5. NATURE OF MATHEMATICS
Mathematics –
A science of discovery
An intellectual game
