Pupils not only experience mathematics in concrete and novel settings, but can be liberated from the sometimes restrictive expectations of the classroom. We can expect: 
1) higher levels of motivation
2) almost limitless resourcesan opportunity to see maths as cross-curricular
3) greater curiosity leading to more effective exploration
4) creative ideas driving investigations
5) meaningful application of problem solving strategies and thinking skills
a heightened sense of purpose and relevance
6) the all important bridge between theory and reality
7) greater independence and an improved attitude to learning
 greater enjoyment and achievement 
8) a realisation that our environment offers opportunities for learning and enjoyment

They stay with us into adulthood and affect our behaviour, lifestyle and work.  They influence our values and the decisions we make. They allow us to transfer learning experienced outside to the classroom and vice versa”

    Math teachers who have only paper and pencil at their disposal, find some of the curriculum contents very difficult to illustrate. A lot more objects and materials can be used for modeling mathematical knowledge! Activities such as object manipulation, dancing, movement, measuring, mime, crochet can be turned into an opportunity to learn Math.  Students can prove theorems and properties in a practical way, based on object manipulation, self-made models, experiments and observations, using different materials and auxiliary tools.]]>     2016-12-07 12:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142257104     Interesting! sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142257724 2016-12-07 12:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142257724 Movement and Math Activity - Bilateral Math sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142434883 2016-12-07 21:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142434883 Example activities and tools sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142436383 2016-12-07 22:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142436383 How I Teach Math & Dance at the Same Time sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142436582 2016-12-07 22:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142436582 Excellent! sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142436945 2016-12-07 22:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142436945 sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142438828 2016-12-07 22:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142438828 Jumpings Statistics worksheet sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142440323 2016-12-07 22:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142440323 Engineering for Kids: Straw Geodesic Dome & Sphere sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142441146 2016-12-07 22:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142441146 sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142442207 2016-12-07 22:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142442207 sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142442702 2016-12-07 23:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142442702 A formative assessement lesson on motion laws called Rolling Cups sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142443498 2016-12-07 23:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142443498 I like this very much! sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142443642 2016-12-07 23:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142443642 Delicious (math) idea! sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142444114 2016-12-07 23:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142444114 How about some sweet conic sections? sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142444539 2016-12-07 23:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142444539 Math using crochet and knitting! sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142444819 2016-12-07 23:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142444819 Beautifull math! sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142445057 2016-12-07 23:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142445057 sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142445793 2016-12-07 23:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142445793 Knitting and using crochet... sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142445907 2016-12-07 23:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142445907 sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142446186 2016-12-07 23:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142446186 What is grit? sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142447398 Grit in psychology is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual's passion for a particular long-term goal or end state, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective.

In order to support this, teachers can offer reflection prompts as a way to encourage students to think about what happened, to discuss and think deeply about the purpose and implications of the activity, reinforcing what was learned. Students can be encouraged to analyze the new approaches and compare them to their prefered method, finding new ways to study mathematics.
    The reflection activities could offer the educator  valuable information to help him/her adapt the class to the students’ needs, have a more dynamic approach to teaching in order to align better with students’ individual and collective needs, rather than adopt a “one size fits most” approach. The reflection prompts can ask students to take about 15 minutes to discuss in their groups and then respond in writing (on the worksheet) to  a few simple questions such as:
    1. Describe several things that you learned from this activity?
    2. How could you apply what you learned in your current class work?  ]]>     2016-12-08 00:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142448584     About this event sladjanat53 https://padlet.com/sladjanat53/sj9ap3u9tclt/wish/142449657 EXPERT: Irina Vasilescu, Lower Secondary School Maths teacher with a 29 years teaching experience from Bucharest, Romania
