  • Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. At TEDxNYED, Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think.

  • How could you ask that question differently?

  • What did you learn from solving this problem?
  • Is this the most important question to ask when solving the problem?
  • What questions need to be answered before answering this question?
  • What does this presume?
  • When you ask these and similar questions, you are encouraging your students to move from passive to active learning.
  • Avoiding Questions Easily Answered on the Internet
  • The following examples are referred to “Google-Proofing” in some circles.
  • the frequency of questions is not as important as the quality of questions.
  • the following are factors to consider when asking students questions.
  • The average level of questions asked by teachers are 60 percent lower cognitive, 20 percent procedural, and 20 percent higher cognitive. 
  • Increasing the frequency of higher cognitive questions to the 50
  • With predominate use of lower cognitive questions; students tend toward lower achievement
  • The use of higher cognitive questions tends to elicit longer student answers in complete sentences, quality inference and conjecture by students, and the forming of higher level questions.

    Encouraging students to use critical thinking is more than an extension activity in science and math lessons, it is the basis of true learning. Teaching students how to think critically helps them move beyond basic comprehension and rote memorization. They shift to a new level of increased awareness when calculating, analyzing, problem solving, and evaluating.

    It would be interesting to build a set a links to similar research results as this and discuss the implications this has for what we do as math teachers in our classrooms.
  • Darren Kuropatwa on 28 Apr 09
     
    New research from Vanderbilt University has found students benefit more from being taught the concepts behind math problems rather than the exact procedures to solve the problems. The findings offer teachers new insights on how best to shape math instruction to have the greatest impact on student learning.

    This just confirms what all the other research has been saying. The issue is getting all of us who didn't learn math conceptually, and who were not trained in college conceptually, to teach this way.

    Demonstrates the utility of exergames for teaching and learning. "Our goal is to design a math game for children aged between 8 and 12. Our focus in basic operations: adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying. Players must gather a given number of objects in order to properly complete mathematical operations while at the same time avoiding or destroying other objects that cause him to lose energy or reduce the time given to complete the task."
