The challenges for a math teacher
by Anamaria Corina Golumbeanu
The challenges for a math teacher are as follows:
Speaking, Follow the rules, Differentiation,
Problems solving.
Speaking: Teaching children to speak Math can be
difficult, because they do not know the correct
language to use. For me, is very important that
students use the words and notions of mathematics
correctly. I must help students to speak well, to
verbalize what they are doing. Using the words
correctly helps students to understand
mathematical notions. For that I use various
activities. One of the most enjoyable for pupils is
the dialogue between two students like a drama.
In terms of replicability, the development of the
Project for the implementation and testing of CLIL
modules with the integrated use of the eTwinning
platform ensures the material's accessibility to
other territorial schools or the entire school system,
as the platform constitutes a tool for
documentation, dissemination and spreading of
good practices for the valorisation of public
waterway experiences
An example is an activity made with my 6th grade
students in Gifted and talent individual drama
education eTwinning project
(https://twinspace.etwinning.net/15950/pages/pag
e/124752). In this activity students learned about
the properties of the isosceles triangle and the
properties of the equilateral triangle. So students
watching the video they learn the lesson without
realizing it.
Follow the rules that mean discipline
and motivation. Discipline and motivation are very
important to support the learning process. .
In my opinion the class rules must be taught just
like any lesson. Only by knowing these rules
students will respect them. These rules should be
published in an attractive poster on the class wall,
too. Because students like Facebook, I must teach
rules to use it safely. This activity is part of Digital
Citizen – How and Why eTwinning project.
