Chapter Review One
After reading the chapter on principles, standards and curriculum for teaching elementary and middle mathematics.
I agree that all students should have the opportunity to learn mathematics and we can set high expectations for children to achieve (Equity principle).
As teachers, we have to plan coherent classroom strategies that can help children to understand the various concepts on the elementary and middle mathematics (Curriculum Principle).
Being teachers, we have to understand the subject areas that we are teaching well; understand how children's mathematical development and how they learn mathematics concepts, and choose instructional task and strategies to improve children's learning. (Teaching Principles).
Learning mathematics with understanding is essential, and teachers need to encourage the children to think, reason and solve problems (Learning Principle).
Assessment is also critical in understanding children's learning growth and development. It provides teachers with information on children's mathematical understanding and also to develop lesson and activities to enhance their learning (Assessment Principle).
Living in this age of technology, it is essential to use technology to teach and enrich children's learning.
Teaching mathematics require educator to know the five process standards: problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation; and have a deep understanding of the curriculum.
Besides knowing the principles, standards and curriculum; teachers also need other characteristics such as perseverance and persistent in not giving up on teaching children. Believing in children and having a positive attitude, adapting to changes are also attributes that an effective teacher should possess.
