Math lessons more student centered
What you think people will say to you when you ask their memory of mathematics in school? The research(OECD, PISA 2016) tells that still many teachers are solving an equation and many math concepts on the blackboard and then turning it to students to repeat it. Students have hard to see the connection to real life and they lose their motivation. It is not a wonder that in one other research almost every other student would rather take out the trash than do mathematics! Students often see mathematics boring, irrelevant or even frightening. The problem is not with Maths itself, but the way it is taught.
The need that students would be more active in their learning is more crucial during the remote learning. I will talk what it means wow to hen students are active in their Math learning and how to do it online.
