a presentation during an interview for recruitment as a mathematic teacher.this presentation define how to communicate passion about mathematics to some reluctant student or adult learners who have got difficulties to have a good grade in previous class

1. Communicating
passion for
Maths…
Presented by Ngolo Luc Kone

2. Introduction
• Mathematics have for long time been perceived as a
complicated subject to learn.
• To have a passion for something request an expression
of emotions and feelings which could be challenging to
convey in a classroom
• .. However modern findings in educational sciences
provide tools and techniques which allow everyone to be
passionate about mathematics
.

3. Some definitions…
Terms and acronyms used during the presentation need to be define first for a better understanding
of the concept.
• Passion (from the Latin verb patere meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling
about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion, compelling enthusiasm or desire for
anything. The term is also often applied to a friendly or eager interest in or admiration for a
proposal, cause, or activity or love – to a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling
emotion, a positive affinity or love, towards a subject.
• Mathematics: Mathematics (from μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the study of
topics such as quantity (numbers),structure, space, and change.
• C.A.R.E.S stands for Customized And Realistic Educational System. It takes in account the
differentiation in classroom management and the pragmatic aspect that requires further
education colleges
• S.I.M is an acronym defining a type of reasoning ;the way the brain must process math lessons in
order to excel in mathematics subject, this method is universal and is taught at the first year of
mathematics faculty.

4. The concept
S.I.M
“As a mobile phone need a sim card to work you need this cognition for every level
and every lesson of mathematic…”

5. S.I.M
• Symbols and principle
memorization
• Illustration
• Multi-patterns
principles application

6. Symbols and principle memorization
Sing or rhyme theorems, principles, property and
axioms of mathematics
Song is a wonderful way to remember information.
By the end of the year we can publish a tape of math
GCSE (principles and theorems).

7. Illustration
• The memorized principles need
to be illustrated
• Research have shown that FE
students are, as a majority, visual-kinesthetic
as learning styles

8. • Contextualizing the lesson to their subject or their living
environment
Choosing an activity that is enjoyable to the student, and
slightly above their skill level and then raising the challenge as
a performance improves.
Along the way, monitoring progress and focusing on a goal is
important to this technique.
With the permission of my hierarchy I will conduct some
activity in the workshop, labs, saloon, outside de building to
make more realistic and living ( C.A.R.E.S model)

9. “The best moments usually occur when a person’s body or
mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to
accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in “Flow, the Psychology of Optimal Experience”

10. Wording adaptation for lesson delivery
-Foster creativity-
•Allow student to create their own topics for projects
based on the curriculum.

11. Multi-patterns principles
application

12. • Collaborative club for extracurricular activities
The collaborative math club is a campus club and online platform for
mathematics amateur
• Utilizing the C.A .R.E.S model
A class and out class coaching system to help reluctant student in a particular
subject
• With social media environment (Google+ hangout)
Google+ Hangouts is a free video chat service from Google that enables both
one-on-one chats and group chats with up to ten people at a time
• Fun activities (contest, team challenge) with rewards
Why that? Because placing learning experiences ‘in context’ with social and emotional
cues is said to reinforce learning

13. conclusion
With that technique, students will be, in a short time,
passionate and well prepared in mathematics for their final
exam.
200% of commitment / 300% of creativity /200% of discipline
300% of teamwork

14. “Play stimulates nerve growth in the portions
of the brain that process emotions and
executive function”.
If learning loses its fun, than it becomes a
mundane task where passion cannot coexist.
