Session Objectives
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
5
• identify and describe various learning approaches that support the
SOLO Model in Mathematics
• design an instructional activity that integrates SOLO levels with a
specific learning approach for Mathematics competency
• foster adaptability and openness to embracing learning approaches
that are SOLO Model driven

What is a learning approach?

• an element used by teachers to help students understand the
information in depth
Aflalo, E., & Gabay, E. (2013)
• primary focus is not on the amount of how much is learned,
but on the way people learn

1. Mathematical Modelling Approach
✔ attempts to study and understand real-life problems using mathematics
✔ the process of creating mathematical representation of a real-world
scenario
✔ the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematical ideas and
concepts to analyze and solve problems (NCTM, 2016)
✔ the practice of making sense of the world through amathematical
perspective
✔ shows the importance to present learners with situations in which they
use the knowledge and have application opportunities

2. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving based Approaches
✔ intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully
conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating
information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience,
reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action
✔ finding a way around a difficulty, around an obstacle, and finding a
solution to a problem that is unknown.

Wrap up: Committed to Connect!
1. As members of the SOLO Model
Advocates, participants are to
write a commitment statement
on the first half of the
commitment form (5 minutes).
2. Altogether, the group will recite
the second half of the commitment
(SOLO) with right hands raised.
COMMITTED TO CONNECT…
As SOLO MODEL Advocate, I/We commit to practice:
1.________________________________________
2.________________________________________
3.________________________________________
And I am connected, and committed to create a
learning environment that is SOLO (SENSITIVE to the
OVERALL LEARNING needs of OUR beloved
learners)

“The hardest part of any task is staying committed to its
completion. One can think of several compelling reasons to
give up commitment. But living up to a commitment and being
committed reflects a person’s integrity and character.”
