Alternate ways of teaching Mathematics

 

1.   Relating Mathematics with daily life

For example, to measure the height of cliff it is not possible to measure it through a measuring tape so their mathematics come and we can do it via using the basic rules of trigonometry. Telling the students, the significance of mathematics in daily life.

2.   Teaching students to learn to draw nets of 3D shapes

For example, to find the surface area of 3D shapes, where are really difficult for the students, we can teach them how to draw the nets of 3D shapes to find the Surface Area of 3D shapes. We can carry out activity session with the students where we can ask them to bring a chart paper, scissors, glue and stationery and tell them to draw the nets of 3D shapes like cylinder, cone, pyramid etc. and then they will join it to make 3D shape. After reopening it they will be asked and helped in finding the surface area of it.

3.   Using Projector in the class

For example, rather than using traditional way of drawing shapes and writing questions on board (which takes so much time) we can project past papers questions on white board via projector and explain it using writing pad. It will not only save time but also make learning interesting.

4.   Using interactive software to explain construction in geometry

For example, We can use online websites and software to teach students geometrical constructions like MathsPad (https://www.mathspad.co.uk/index.php)

Geogebra (https://www.geogebra.org/) etc.

We need to have paid version as free version comes with limitations and few options which can be hindrance to teach students concepts properly.
