Teaching Ideas

Being a mathematics teacher means more than simply teaching the subject itself. Students also need to see the relevance of mathematics to their everyday lives, and they should enjoy learning the subject. If a student comes into my classroom in September and leaves in June without seeing the relevance of mathematics and having fun in class, I do not think that I have done that student—or the subject—justice. Group work and projects are two ways to accomplish these goals in the classroom. Another way is to play review games. Students rank one of the games that we play, “relay review,” as their favorite year after year.

In a letter published in the Mathematics Teacher, Eisen (1996) discusses his custom of drawing on one or more aspects of mathematics to write the day's date in a special form for his class. I believe that this activity is a creative and effective way to cult1vate the tendency to “see” special qualities in the numbers appearing in our daily experience. The digits in a date can often be combined in a way that calls attention to an important mathematical constant or that suggests a distinctive property of a natural number. For example, Eisen mentions writing September 24 as September 4!, thus underscoring that 24 is a factorial. I also practice this bit of number play, although not on a daily basis.

In working with an average first-year algebra class, I noticed that the students sometimes got so wrapped up in solving for that pesky x that we often forgot the practical uses of the subject. A perfect opportunity came up as we began a section on distance problems. The standard practice is to analyze the problem by putting into a chart the information found by using the formula distance = rate × time to set up the equations.

The purpose of this study is to find out the improvement of elementary school students' learning achievement through the medium of picture word cards. The problem in this study is still the low learning achievement of students seen from the initial test of learning achievement. This research took place in class I SDN Babatan IV/459 Surabaya. The school is located at Jalan Raya Menganti Babatan Wiyung District of Surabaya City. The research time was carried out in semester 1 (odd) in October of the 2020/2021 School Year. The subject of this study was a student of class I SDN Babatan IV /459 Surabaya which amounted to 28 students. This research design is class action research (PTK) through stage flow (planning, research action, data collection and data analysis) carried out with two cycles. The result of this study is an increase in student learning achievement in each lesson cycle with a minimum completion criteria (KKM) of 70, cycle I completed learning of 15 students or 60% of students who have achieved the minimum completion criteria with an average score of 72.95. While cycle II has increased, 28 students completed their studies or 100% of students have achieved the minimum completion criteria with an average score of 85.4.

At least there are three main issues that underlie the reluctance of students to learn better. (1) learning technique problem that does not grow student's motivation, (2), lecturer's existence is not as a facilitator who teaches students, private auctions that teach or patronize, (3) delivery of instruction messages with less interactive and attractive media. By examining something that is in the field, there appears to be a discrepancy between learning by the method of learning it uses. Joyful Learning Scenario is usually done by lecturers so far only aspects of mastery of student concepts. For that need an assessment technique can reveal aspects of the process, one of them. The purpose of this research are: (1) To Know How to Improve Motivation of Student Achievement Semester II in Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokerto, (2) To Know How Joyful Learning Scenario at Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokerto (3) To Knowing How Efforts to Improve Student Achievement Motivation Semester II Through Joyful Learning Learning at Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokert The subject of this research is the second semester students in the Islamic religious education program of Tarbiyah High School of Raden Wijaya Mojokerto academic year 2016/2017 . There are several things that need authors conclude (1) Group work is very effective done in order to support the activities of the lectures with a fun learning. (2) The provision of resource materials that students need to complete the task is very effective when the lectures are conducted using a fun learning lesson. (3) The balance of time efficiency with each group at the beginning and end of each lecture is essential in ensuring that the report card is really concise and interesting.

On the basis of the updated educational program were discussed issues of application of design technologies, in biology lessons in the section «Cell Biology» on the method of spiral training. Communication between parents, teachers and students is provided for in project technology. The point is that interest in the topic will increase by asking questions to parents. I was asked to voice my question, share my ideas through group work. The analysis of the works of these scientists is carried out and some stages of application are noted. In order to increase the interest of students studying the subject of biology, the specifics of the use of technology in project training are determined. In the field of biology are defined stages of work aimed at further development and consolidation of data on the topic «Cell Biology». The role of the teacher was shown. Highlighted the relationship of parents with children and friendship, communication in the classroom.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE. In the November, 1922 number of the Mathematics Teacher attention was called to some interesting material relating to permutations and combinations which had been discovered in certain Hebrew works by Messrs. Ginsburg and Turetsky. The latter came across his material in a certain work by Moses Cordovero, a learned rabbi of the first part of the 16th century—the Pardes Rim-monim (Orchard of Pomegranates), first printed in the Hebrew language at Salonika in the year 1552. It sets forth the simple and interesting way in which Cordovero attacked the subject of permutations and suggests a method which could be used with profit at the present time. The translation is interesting because of the quaint style, and the notes will be found valuable not merely for their explanations but for the mathematical principles set forth.

The Subject

The place of mathematics in general education was discussed at least as long ago as some 2500 years, when the Pythagoreans established the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music, subjects which were to be considered the heart of a liberal education for many centuries. That the subject is still being discussed today can be readily verified by consulting almost any recent issue of The Mathematics Teacher. The Eleventh and Fifteenth Yearbooks of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics contain much valuable information on the subject under discussion, and I heartily recommend them to any teacher of mathematics who has not yet read them.

The subject of this article is not new. In the October 1961 issue of The Mathematics Teacher, Professor N. A. Court gives an excellent history of the Apollonius contact circles. Before the invention of analytic geometry, mathematicians were concerned with the construction of the circles. Descartes attempted an analytical solution, and we learn from his memoirs that he gave up in despair.

Teaching Ideas

As a mathematics teacher whose present assignment is to teach science, I was somewhat dismayed when my physics class wa unable to solve a nontrivial quadratic equation. These students are all enrolled in senior-year mathematics and had taken all lower level mathematics courses available in our small Western Kansas high school. They charged this inability to having forgotten the quadratic formula. To the e students the quadratic formula is a magic passkey to solving “unfactorable” quadratic equations. On further di scussion, l discovered that they vaguely remembered having heard of the method of completing the square, but they saw no connection between the quadratic formula and that method of solving a quadratic equation. They could solve simple quadratics by hit-and-miss factoring, but that was their only tool with which to attack this problem.
