Discusses some learning theories in teaching mathematics

2. EXPERIENTIAL
LEARNING

3. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
− Is the process
of learning through experience.
− It makes learning an experience that moves
beyond the classroom and strives to bring a
more involved way of learning.
− It entails a hands-on approach to learning
that moves away from just the teacher at the
front of the room imparting and transferring
their knowledge to students.

4. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Example:
Growing a garden: Have the student to
plant a seed and water them everyday,
when the sprout comes out make them
measure its height until it reaches its
maximum length. Gather the measurement
data and calculate how many centimeters it
grows everyday.

5. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

6. REFLECTIVE
LEARNING

7. REFLECTIVE LEARNING
− Is a form of education in which the student reflects
upon their learning experiences
− Involves students thinking about what they have read,
done, or learned, relating the lesson at hand to their
own lives and making meaning out of the material
− Typically involves looking back at something, a past
experience or idea and critically analyzing the event.
− Reflection will help students learn from their past
experiences and turn surface learning into deep
learning

8. REFLECTIVE LEARNING
Example:
Present an object or shape and
ask the students if they have
encountered similar real life
objects in their environment or
surroundings.

9. REFLECTIVE LEARNING

10. COOPERATIVE
LEARNING

11. COOPERATIVE LEARNING
− Is an instructional strategy that
enables small groups of students to
work together on a common
assignment
− Students can work collaboratively on
a variety of problems, ranging from
simple math problems to large
assignments

12. COOPERATIVE LEARNING
Example:
Give a problem to solve and let them
answer it step by step, one member
per step, from first step to last step
until they completed the steps
needed to solve the problem.

13. COOPERATIVE LEARNING

14. DISCOVERY
LEARNING

15. DISCOVERY LEARNING
− Is that students utilize prior knowledge,
existing knowledge, and new knowledge
gained to discover new ideas, truths, or
beliefs about a topic
− Students are able to utilize their cognitive
ability to gain new knowledge
− Bruner stated that learners construct new
ideas or concepts based upon existing
knowledge

16. DISCOVERY LEARNING
Example:
Students are given a problem to
solve. In order to solve the problem,
students must gather information,
research, and ask questions about
possible solutions to the given
problem.

17. DISCOVERY LEARNING

18. INQUIRY-BASED
LEARNING

19. INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING
− Individuals are able to learn by investigating
scenarios and problems, and through social
experiences
− A process that has the potential to increase the
intellectual engagement and deep understanding
of learners
− Encouraged the students to conduct
investigations that would satisfy their curiosity,
help them broaden their knowledge base and
develop their skills and mental frames

20. INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING
Example:
Scavenger Hunt: Provide students with a list
of locations they must check off on their
scavenger hunt, but instead of giving them
physical directions, provide them with math
problems. Use clues that tell them how many
steps, feet, yards, etc. they will need to
advance to make it to their next destination.

21. INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING

22. LEARNING THEORIES
Key points:
 Experiential Learning -
learning through experience
 Reflective Learning - reflects upon their
learning experiences
 Cooperative Learning - working collaboratively
 Discovery Learning – utilizing cognitive ability
to gain new knowledge
 Inquiry-based Learning - learning by
investigating
