PS 4305 3.17 Question 8

Explain how teachers can encourage and motivate students to learn Mathematics using ICT?

a) Provide opportunities for practical work using mathematical softwares (e.g. PC Logo, Sketchpad), resource CD (e.g. SMART Mathematics) and incorporate them into the lesson.

b) Allow students to explore on their own during the maths lesson held in the lab so that they can manipulate through the use of ICT.

c) Design a maths project (individually or in groups) related to the use of ICT and rewards the best outcome and efforts. E.g. using PC Logo during a maths competition.

d) The syllabus (curriculum) is linked with ICT so that its use is constantly encouraged especially with the introduction of SPN 21.

e) Use a variety of ICT related examples which must be relevant and that prepared beforehand; flash videos (download from internet) during lesson.

f) Establish a clear step-by-step guideline for any ICT related examples or programs used during the lesson so students can work independently, i.e. written guideline for easier reference.

g) Ensure that the programs used are at par with the students’ level so that they are motivated to explore during their free time, i.e. at home.

h) Use a wide range of peripherals during the maths lesson, e.g. interactive whiteboard, multimedia projectors etc. Involve students to use the peripherals to allow active participation from the students. Set up early to avoid wasting time.

i) Increase and promote parents’ involvement on the importance of using ICT so that they can help their children at home for any ICT related work assigned to them through letters sent to parents, web portals, meeting, etc.

j) Create mathematical games/challenges using ICT (interactive games) during the lesson so that it is more interesting and allow students to learn and play at the same time.
