THE PERFECT METHODS

LIFE IS GOOD FOR ONLY TWO THINGS,  DISCOVERING MATHEMATICS AND TEACHING MATHEMATICS.

My dream is to be a mathematics teacher.  I love mathematics since I was 14 years-old. Before this I hate mathematics just because of my former mathematics teacher. She was strict and I always get scolded by her. Once I move to form 3 which I was going to sit for PMR exam ( public exam ), I started to love mathematics just because of my polite teacher and I impressed the way she taught us. I started to do a lot of exercises.  So, I scored in exam.

                          

MATHEMATICS

As a teacher, I will choose cognitive methods to teach my students which helps them to a better understanding.

According to Howard Gardner identified seven intelligence which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform and understand in different ways. Which are :

1. Logical intelligence: Sudoku, and mind maps.
2. Visual/spatial intelligence: Reading diagrams and maps, jigsaw puzzles, pictures, videos, charts, graphs, diagrams, and art activities.
3. Bodily-kinetics intelligence: Touching, teaching Maths through sports, string art.
4. Naturalistic intelligence: Point out mathematical influences in nature.
5.  Musical/ rhythmical intelligence: Teaching Math using music.
6. Interpersonal and interpersonal intelligence: Creating statistic studies about their colleagues’ interests or hobbies, describing something from a numerical point of view.

Musical is one of the intelligence from the seven multiple intelligence which I love to use it. Please take a look at the video below.

I believe this method could help kids to remember the multiples. 

Moreover, I always believe in reciprocal teaching which is two way communications.  We as a teacher should give chance to our students to ask questions. So, it makes them to a better understanding. There are 4 learning strategies, which are predicting, clarifying, question generating and summarizing. 

As a teacher, I should not divide the students whether they are slow learner or fast learner. What i can do is to divide the both learners in one group which mix them while dividing them into groups. So, the fast leaner students can help the slow learners. I do not want to be a bias like my teachers in secondary school. I should teach them equally. Mathematics is for all.

MATHEMATICS IS FOR ALL.
