Teaching Of Mathematics

There are many different approaches to the teaching of mathematics. They range from the formal, axiomatic type of presentation to the strictly utilitarian emphasis. The first is concerned with the logical structure of mathematics and seeks to transcend any particular relevance to ordinary experience. The second approach concentrates upon the development of a manipulative skill with some important mathematical operations. Most of the teaching at the junior high school and senior high school levels would today probably fall somewhere between these two extremes. In any of these methods, however, the teacher frequently finds that he is giving little attention to the development of mathematical intuition and what might be called a “freedom from the discipline.” It is the purpose of this paper to describe a program that attempts to emphasize and enhance the students' intuitive abilities.

Programming Skills

A line maze robot training course, which contains the hardware circuit implementation, firmware programming skills and the shortest path algorithm, is presented in this paper. The training course is used for vocation senior high school teachers and students. The major topic for students is to develop the proper firmware programming to achieve the better performance and students are encouraged to pass the small contest in the end of the workshop. The low-cost educational platform is easily by the economically disadvantaged students. Students, who join the workshop can learn the basic C language, the firmware programming skills for microcontrollers, the concept of the shortest path algorithm for line maze robot, just spend less $40 USD to buy the robots. The contributions of this training course are as follows: 1) studying the hardware implementation knowledge, 2) developing microcontroller-related firmware programming skills, 3) learning motion control skills of the line maze robot, and 4) learning line-maze solving algorithms. Few students, who join this training workshop and learn the related hardware, firmware and algorithm, can find the shortest path form source to target in the line map. The feedback of the most students shows that the training course gives them the motivation to actively learn the necessary practical skills to design the firmware programming to guide the line maze robot.

Teaching Of Mathematics

The purpose of the present is to propose the construction of the ellipse in a didactic way in which the work deals with the exposure of a specific methodology for the 3rd year of high school when dealing with ellipse content. Followed by the results of the realization of a workshop aimed at the construction of the ellipse in a didactic way, constructed with low cost material, thereby proposing the teaching of mathematics in a more pleasant and effective way, where the ellipse equations were defined with the theoretical concept and afterwards, the gardener's method was used to construct this curve in a terrain, using ropes and civil construction fasteners, so that the student could concretize and apply this content in practice. After that, it was used for construction in the classroom using thread threads or thin strings to make the tracing and to finish it used the Geogebra software to finish the work showing the perfection of the curve explained in the classroom. The didactic process carried out showed a real interest of the students mainly with the use of the field practice. In conclusion, teaching mathematics in a didactic and interactive way provides a favorable environment for learning, stimulating students with a critical sense and an investigative spirit.
