I was so amazed on the first day of my Elementary Mathematics class which I thought will be a boring night.... It was amazing that the lecturer did the lesson creatively, engaging and lot's of fun!
WHAT IS MATHEMATICS????????????
For me mathematics deals with number , shapes, problem solving , and equation.
According to MOE Syllabus ...............................
- Mathematics is an excellent vehicle for the development and improvement of a , person’s intellectual competence in logical reasoning, spatial visualisation, analysis and abstract thought.
- Students develop numeracy, reasoning, thinking skills, and problem solving skills through the learning and application of mathematics.
- Mathematics is also a subject of enjoyment and excitement, which offersstudents opportunities for creative work and moments of enlightenment and joy.
- When ideas are discovered and insights gained, students are spurred to pursuemathematics beyond the classroom wall.
Just to share with you ....
How numbers are used differently
1. Cardinal number- represent the number of objects ex: flower, cookies etc...
2. Ordinal number- refers to the position of an object
ex: 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 4th and so on....
3. Nominal number- It used to label example : bus 14
4. Measurement- it is used to measure numbers that can be standard or non-standard
unit of measurement.
What is a meaningful counting?
one to one correspondence
ability to classify and sort
ability to rote count
the last number that is uttered represent the number.
I am very eager to come for the next session as it was fun and exciting class!!!!!!!
