Math

The use of technology allows students to approach concepts for example when the concept of infinity is started, videos and tools such as geogebra or desmos can be used to use the notion of function when approaching a specific value and connect it with different situations. where the technology including the graphing calculator is included, also as a differentiating tool for some students that require it, because in the math class when these dynamics are used, everyone wants to participate

Teaching math as a language teacher

Yichi — 2019-03-25 12:44:08 UTC

Every one must be a language teacher in IBDP.
I used to start my math lesson with the introduction to key concept and a realworld situation to use the concept. This give a background for the students to understand the key word of the topic. I would use the explaination both literally and in math context to further make sure students see the connection of the language and math. eg. sequence mean the ordering of matter while in math it means a enumeration of objects.
I can also use other languages in math, for instance Latin is often used in logics， or Cartesian equation is named after french. This could help students to dig deep into the origins of math.
Language rich math materials is also presented to students to make sure they are exposed to English.

THREE WAYS VIEWS:

- Effectiveness of group work,

- Give directions to students who must search, Listen carefully to the points of view and ideas of others.

- Learn from each other through classroom observation, coaching and professional feedback.

Planning

Planning the lesson must include:
Inquiry based: Give students data that they can derive connections from. Lead them to inquire about similarities and differences in the data.
Differentiation: Students can model the data using graphing calculators or desmos and make further conclusions about them based on the graphs.
Collaboration Students will work in pairs to do the assignment and ask questions and formulate a plan of action with the data.
Students will be assessed on the material and challenged to form conjectures on the data in order to show understanding.

INQUIRY BASED TEACHING

In Inquiry – based Teaching student is given hands on project and the teacher acts as a supportive figure by providing guidance and support to the students.

Asking effective questions is an art to be perfected. Effort has to be taken to frame questions during lesson preparation that will lead to understanding and engage the minds and hearts of the students as they learn. When planning questions, a teacher should first determine the purpose for which they are asking a particular question. A few carefully chosen words can make a great difference in whether or not a question results in the desired outcome.

Questions

- should stimulate thinking

- should not lead to controversy.

- should not be open ended

Good questions require thought and reflection, and students should be given time to give their answer.

Good questions

- to search for information

- enable the student to analyze the understanding

- encourage
