Mathematics Teaching And Learning

Indigenous games play an important role in various communities. Despite research indicating that these games can be used to advance and create a connection between classroom activities and the real life contexts, the connection has not been explored adequately to make this a reality in many mathematics classrooms. This Article reports on the various indigenous games that are a feature in South Africa as well as the Southern Africa region. The Article identifies a number of indigenous games that are popular in South Africa and how such games have been used to promote cultural heritage. This article also discusses examples of the use of such games in the process of teaching and learning of mathematics in schools.Keywords: Indigenous games. Mathematics teaching and learning.

A pesar de las investigaciones que indican que estos juegos pueden usarse para avanzar y crear una conexión entre las actividades del aula y los contextos de la vida real, pero, la conexión no se ha explorado adecuadamente para hacer de esto una realidad en muchas aulas de matemáticas. Este artículo informa sobre los diversos juegos indígenas que son una característica en Sudáfrica y en la región de África del Sur. El artículo identifica una serie de juegos indígenas que son populares en Sudáfrica y cómo dichos juegos se han utilizado para promover el patrimonio cultural. El artículo también analiza ejemplos del uso de tales juegos en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en las escuelas.Palabras clave: Juegos indígenas.

The purpose of this chapter was to investigate pre-service teachers' noticing of children's critical thinking and views towards eliciting and using students' critical thinking in mathematics teaching. A mixed method study was used to provide a range of perspectives on pre-service teachers' views towards mathematics. The results indicated that the pre-service teachers initially held beliefs that mathematics teaching and learning consist of transferring information and students absorbing and memorizing information. The pre-service teachers based their instructional responses on experiences they had as students in elementary mathematics classrooms. The pre-service teachers described what they had observed about teaching mathematics as the ideal without regard for how the teaching behaviors they observed might influence children's critical thinking about mathematics. After completing a mathematics methods course, the pre-service teachers held beliefs more consistent with a reform-oriented classroom and demonstrated growth in their ability to notice children's mathematics thinking.

Family Gathering

Picture a family gathering on a nice summer day; in addition to delicious food, fun activities, and much laughter and talking, what else could be included? Although it might seem odd, our family gathering resulted in an important mathematics teaching and learning lesson.

Mathematics Teaching And Learning

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused new ways of doing and being, both in education systems and beyond across the world. In the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand, the widely supported government approach focused on the well-being of the nation with a position that saving lives was more important than maintaining an open economy. As researchers and educators, we supported teachers as they worked with their students in their home settings. This provided us with an opportunity to explore a vision of a reinvented system of mathematics education beyond institutional and formal structures of schools. In this chapter, we present the analysis of the responses from 24 educators mainly from low socioeconomic urban settings as they reflected on how they enacted mathematics teaching and learning during the lockdown while connecting with students and their families as well as their subsequent learning from this experience. Results highlighted that the mathematical learning of students went beyond what was accessed by digital means and included parents drawing on rich everyday opportunities. A key finding was that by supporting and privileging the well-being of students and communities, the connections and relationships between educators and families were enhanced.
