Ideas for encouraging students to math

2020-08-22T12:44:39Z

In the opinion of many students, mathematics is a very difficult subject. Let's share ideas for encouraging the study of this subject.
I organized 2 city math games for students of 5th and 6th grades of primary schools in Wrocław. In one of them, we used the facilities located in the Wrocław market square and its vicinity, and in the second, the facilities and history of the South Park located near my school. In order to make students interested in the tasks, we coded their content using the Morse code, Caesar cipher, graphic dictation, etc.

If you have students that is interested in learning mathematics by using computers I would recommend Khan Academy.
Khan has math of all levels and also computer programming.

Dear colleagues,
I am Mathematics teacher with quite long experience. However I would like to ask you share your experience what is the most appropriate way to work if you have students with different abilities in the class. I know - it is possible to prepare worksheets in different levels, but how we can provide necessary support to each one student. We usually assume that weakest students need more support but probably strongest students need our support much more to reach excellence in their work.
Is the spliting class in separate groups the better solution?
I will appreciate very much your opinions!
My best regards,
Biruta Pjalkovska

we can understand its not possible to make the different groups of students as per the school rules and other reasons but for this i think the best way is to use math labs and techniques. cause visualizations keeps the same effect on all ability students. You alone would make how many different worksheets. I think it would help.

Hi everyone,

how do you approach talented math students?
In Slovakia, I am in charge of organizing a national correspondence competition Pikomat
as well as special summer and winter schools for the best participants.
What activities are available in your country?

Welcome! I am a teacher of mathematics. I teach in primary school. In my school in the same class, children learn healthy and the disabled. Teaching takes place on different levels. To be effective learning activities leads two teachers. Although it is not easy and not always successful. Regards.
