Mathematics is not all about numbers and proofs, equations and rules. It is an experience where students should be given the opportunity to go beyond these things to explore, discuss, and imagine new ideas, expand their minds and grow. Teaching to both the strengths and weaknesses of students will encourage personal growth in and out of the classroom. One student's strengths can be used to help improve another student's weaknesses. It’s important to get students to work together in a math class. Students tend to have greater comprehension when they exchange ideas and learn from each other. This gives all students a greater opportunity to succeed and feel comfortable in their mathematical abilities.
The active participation of a student in a discussion or lesson will keep them both involved and interested in the mathematical topic being covered. Prior knowledge is key to understanding a new math concept. It is easier when examples are made relevant to the students and connections between old and new math concepts are made. It seems easy for some students to become bored and uninterested during math lectures. By posing questions, allowing students to ask questions, giving problems to be done on the board, and asking students to talk through the steps of a problem, they will be more focused on the lesson and thus more apt to take something valuable away from it. Students like to know that the math that they are learning will be useful to them at some point. The trick is to make the math relevant to things that the students know and deal with on a daily basis. The more connections possible to be made between mathematics and the students' lives, the better the chance that they will not only be willing but also interested in learning the new material.
The use of technology in the mathematics classroom further enhances learning through integration and application. Graphing calculators, the Internet, and software programs such as Microsoft Excel can all be incorporated into today's math classes. These technological advances help students to see and visually understand the material being presented. They can also be used to explore complicated or abstract topics.
