‘TheonlywaytolearnMathematicsistodomathematics’
MATHS
Math focuses on five fundamental processes:Communication, Problem Solving, Reasoning andProof, Representation, and Connections. Theseprocesses complement the Mathematical contentthatour studentsstudy.StudentsareencouragedtoengageinMathematicalThinkingandReasoning.Learning opportunities are provided to challengestudentsatalllevelsofunderstanding.
It isnot thegoalofaMathematicsclass to teachstudentstosolveeverytypeofproblemtheymightencounter. The Teacher’s role is to give studentsopportunities todevelopa repertoireof strategiesthatwillhelpthemapplyandadaptsoastobeabletosolveproblemsthatarenew.
Aspartofthereasoningandproofprocess,studentsdevelop , sharpen & extend their Mathematicalreasoningskillsbyanalyzingtheirassertions,usingbothinductiveanddeductivereasoning.
Making connections is an important ingredientof Mathematics in Grade 6. Students developMathematical skills as they see how conceptsconnect to one another. They increase theirappreciationfortheimportanceofMathematicsastheyrealizehowMathematicsisconnectedtoothersubjectsandhowitisappliedintherealworld.
At Springdales, Teaching Math is student centricand students take responsibility for their Learning. Itis common practice to see the students engrossedin their lessons while participating on an Onlinequiz using Kahoot or answering Critical Thinkingquestions on Padlet. Flipped classes help them gainconfidence in their knowledge and empower them topresent theirpointofview throughpresentationsandlively discussions and debates concerning importantfundamentals of Math. These academic pursuits arefurther livened by Math based activities such as theMathsQuizandBingo.
