1. What do we know about today’s math students?
Lack of initiative.
They don’t want to be there.
Lack of perseverance.
They feel forced by society and
law.
They lack retention.
Aversion to word problems.
Eagerness for formula.
Impatience for irresolution.
Looking for the easy way out.
Feel threatened
2. We will retire in a world our students will run.
Students have many bad habits of trying to
find a quick way to get the answer instead of
learning the concept.
We are teaching to find the answers and not to
become problem solvers.
3. “The formulation of a problem is often more essential
than its solution, which may be merely a matter of
mathematical or experimental skill”
- Albert Einstein
“Give a man a fish - he eats for a day
Teach a man how to fish - he eats for a lifetime.”
We need to teach students how to become problem solvers
5. How do change our bad habits?
• Use multimedia - Bring the world to
the classroom, create new ways to
learn concepts.
• Encourage student intuition
• Ask the shortest question you can
• Let students build the problem
• Be less helpful
6. It’s by doing that little “extra” that makes an
ordinary teacher become an extraordinary
teacher.
Answers are essential but only part of the
process, just like wrong answers are.
Sometimes we can learn more from what a
student is doing wrong than what they are
doing right. PAY ATTENTION!
Teach them math they already know, it
becomes more reliable to them.
Make sense of the mathematics you can
learn from working the problem.
7. We need to develop more
patient, problem solving
students.
• As teachers our job is not to
transfer data to the students.
• Our job is to inspire learning!!
