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
