Teddy Bears Travel Show Me Math - Part 1 - Introduction

Mathematics is one of the key themes of each curriculum, both the normal school class or home. Regardless of the learning situation, including teddy bears travel in the mathematics curriculum is something that is easy to do, take the attention of students and involve them in the learning process.

The differences between countries, but basically there are 5 areas of the mathematics curriculum, which areincurred during the academic year. They are: number sense and numeration, measurement, patterning and algebra, data management and probability theory and geometry and spatial sense.

Numbering and number Sense focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and percentages. concepts of measurement are: distance, length, area, perimeter, volume, time and temperature, while patterning and algebra seem to exploration and development to increase or decrease modeland understanding between pairs of expressions. Of course, with each grade level there is a corresponding increase in the complexity of content and level of knowledge and skills required of the student. The theory of data management and probability, the field of mathematics curriculum is responsible for collecting, organizing and presenting data in a variety of procedures and presented the reading, writing and data interpretation. The content of this probabilityStrand mathematics, students are required to provide the results of experiments and then conduct experiments and comparing the two results. On the way to the upper levels of primary school, students would be required to make predictions about actual events with models of probability. Geometry and spatial sense identification provides 2D and 3D shapes and figures, classify them under a variety of properties. And we are still waiting, the complexity of mathematical skills would be bigger, with eachfollowing school year. Finally, in the math section, students are expected to understand the network / coordinate system and be able to apply this knowledge in different situations.

In addition to these aspects of the mathematics curriculum, there are a number of categories to ensure that the teacher uses student learning and continuing education of student-specific. Knowledge and understanding of content is fundamental to the study of every part of the mathematics curriculum. In addition toThe understanding of the contents of the teachers see students thinking skills. That is, to use critical thinking, creative thinking and the process for solving problems of students. Communication is another important component of this section, category, such as students are able to explain the reasons for their answers orally, visually or in writing, must be available. From these various locations takes the student's different learning styles, while providing teachers with informationare needed to assess student learning and the necessary changes. Student application of knowledge and skills is crucial for the fourth category. Students must be able to extrapolate their understanding of their results and connections between different contexts.

By incorporating the travels of teddy bears in the mathematics curriculum, instructor is the situation, the material, the mathematical concepts taught. For example, a simple mathematical problem related toDistance and time might look like this: Sam takes his bear, Teddy, to his grandmother's house at Thanksgiving. It starts at 10:00 clock to arrive in the morning and half later reached their destination. What time is it coming? [PRIMARY] go 50mph/80kph. To what extent the family has to travel home to his grandmother? Or something more complicated: the family leaves early in the morning and it takes hours to get there at 3.25. They arrive at 11:30 clock. Go upan average of about 60mph/100kph. What route would you have?

If your trip is Teddy Bear in this problem, students must still be in a position, calculate the answers. Including the teddy bear in question, is always relevant and engaging for students. To follow-up: now that record information about students in his math journal.
