Strategies in Teaching
Mathematics
Strategy based on Objectives
Problem Solving
Knowledge and skill Goals
Understanding Goals
Knowledge and Skill Goals
• Student are required to memorize facts or to become proficient in using algorithms
• It requires automatic responses which could be achieved through repetition or practice
Understanding Goals
Authority Teachingteacher is the one in charge of
the concepts to be learned
Interaction and
DiscussionCreated by
asking questions in
order to provide
means for active
participation
DiscoveryThe
elements of a discovery experience
are motivation
for students
LaboratoryThis is done
through experimental activities
dealing with
concrete situations
Teacher Controlled
presentationTeacher uses
different educational technology
Problem Solving
a. Make sure students understand the problem
c. Help the students gather relevant thought material
e. Encourage he students to reflect on the problem and how they arrived into solutions
b. Ask questions.
d. Provide students with an atmosphere conducive to solving problems
f. Encourage them to present alternate ways to solve the problems
Theoretical basis of Problem
Solving Strategies
ConstructivismLearning is an active process
in which learners
construct new ideas or
concepts based upon their past
knowledge/ SCHEMA
Cognitive encourages
the students’ creativity with the
implementation of
technology
Guided Discovery Learning
Tool engages students in a
series of Higher order thinking skills
to solve problems
MetacognitionStudents should
develop and explore the
problem.It must
challenge the students to
think.
Cooperative learninga. Forming groupsb. Working as groupc. Problem solving as Groupd. Managing differences
Steps of Problem Solving Strategy
Restate the problem
Select appropriate notation
Prepare visual-aids
Identify needed information
Estimate the answer
Solve the problem
Check the Solution
Other Techniques in Problem Solving
Concept Formation Strategy• This strategy is used when you want the students to make connections between and among essential element of a concept
Concept attainment Strategy•This allows students to discover the essential attributes of a concept
•It can enhance students’ skills in separating important from unimportant information; searching for patterns and making generalizations; and defining and explaining concepts
•It is successful when students are able to generate their own example and describe the process they used to find the essential attributes f the concept

• Evaluation Procedures
Non Testing Procedures
Interview such as teacher –
pupil interview
Questionnaires
Anecdotal Records
Sociometric Devices
Ranking and Rating
Procedures
a. Achievement Test include simple quizzes on the work during single period to full-scale examinations
c. Inventory tests often referred to as pre- and post- tests and are used to determine the improvement of the
students
e. Speed tests are tests wherein a student is required to complete as
many tests or problems in a predetermined time
b. Diagnostic tests attempts to locate areas of misunderstanding or areas where teaching has not
taken place to enable suitable remedial instruction to be given
d. Individual tests require careful questioning and observation of
the reaction of an individual and needs an expert to administer
f. Power tests require a student to do as many problems or tasks out
of a set of increasing difficulty
g. Sociometric Tests which
test sociability of students
require them to select or
identify their classmates whom they
like very much
