What do you think,when you hear "Mathematics"?Happy? Smile? challenged?
or Scary?tortured?fearful?or anything else that will make you confuse and stress...
Hem,, if you feel same with the first,just stay cool,,
but, if you are at the second feeling,,hem,, you have to make changes!!!moving on different ways,,
question mark "how is the way to realize"???
Don't be panic!
I have several ploys, those are:
- Positive thinking, whenever you are and whatever you are still in context of mathematics.
- Imagine, that mathematics is not about some formula,number, and calculation. Mathematics is the basic power of all knowledge. There are so many things that will make you amazed when you see mathematic from other side or perspective.
- Mathematics is a game. A game for thinking logically and increase your critical thinking. Because, there are so many games that relate with mathematics and will develop it. Moreover, if you are a kid or no. You can try at http://www.coolmath4kids.com/ for math is fun.
actually i am a math phobia,
BalasHapusone of the failure when my math teacher teach me is they didn't relate the subject to the real context. that's always make me to think DO I NEED TO LEARN MATH?
the way of their teaching make students feel underpressure and make their missunderstood deeper.
i think, it should be better if there is revolution of teaching math include new approach and methodology.
i am sure that all teacher candidate in SSE can do that :)
nice post zahra, I hope this post can make our studen feel enjoy with mathematics......
BalasHapusit's very important for us, that mathematic is not scary but very interesting. hehehehehehe.
