Learning Strategies
  1. Inquiring
    • Inquiring involves discovery or constructing knowledge through questioning or testing hypothesis. Posing questions to stimulate students to discover similarities or differences on different rules or asking students to test mathematical conjectures enables students to participate in a more active role in the learning process.
  2. Communicating
    • Communicating involves receiving and sharing meanings by using language, symbols, graphs and aesthetic forms. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the important elements of communication which help students to interpret others' statements, state their ideas, clarify their meanings, refine their strategies to solve problems, hypothesize and construct simple arguments. Activities such as teachers posing questions for students to answer, small-group work, large-group discussions, presentation of individual and group projects (both written and oral form) provide platforms for students to communicate mathematically. Mathematics in itself can also be considered as other form of language. Teachers can guide students to see the difference of the mathematical language with those languages used in daily life and appreciate the precise nature of the mathematical language.
  3. Reasoning
    • Reasoning involves developing plausible or logical arguments to deduce or infer conclusions. It is fundamental to the knowing and doing of mathematics. A mathematician or a student makes a conjecture by generalizing from a pattern of observations made in some particular cases (inductive reasoning) and then tests the conjecture by constructing either a logical verification or a counter-example (deductive reasoning).
  4. Conceptualizing
    • Conceptualizing involves organizing and reorganizing knowledge through perceiving and thinking about particular experiences in order to abstract patterns and ideas and to generalize from particular experiences. In teaching, teachers should pay due emphasis on helping students master the basic concepts of mathematics and create link between concepts.
  5. Problem-solving
    • The importance of problem solving in mathematics education has well been recognized. It involves understanding the problems;
      ◆ considering possible strategies and choosing an appropriate one to solve the problem;
      ◆ carrying out the plan; and
      ◆ justifying or evaluating the solution.
