Maths @ CSPS

What Does Remote Learning Math Look Like?

Remote learning math looks a little different across F-6. You may have noticed lots of hands-on activities. 

What are the Benefits of “Hands-on” Learning?

To combine the real world with math curriculum is called “hands-on” learning.  When students are able to correlate new concepts from the curriculum with real-world concepts, their brains are stimulated.  The knowledge acquired through this style of teaching is easier retained for long term memory.  Hands-on learning helps develop critical thinking and analytical skills which will continue to be beneficial throughout their life.  These are the skills imperative to getting into university and landing a job.  More importantly, hands-on learning adds fun to the lessons for all involved.

The research says, through hands-on learning, students are able to engage in real life illustrations and observe the effects of changes in different variables. It offers concrete illustrations of concepts. This allows the learner to see, touch and manipulate objects while learning as mathematics.

Math Skill Practice

Number skills and practices are still important and you will notice there are warm up tasks that are usually number skills, through games, or quick mental math. It is still important to continue to practice number skills such as times tables outside of set tasks. This would be standard as it would be if we were at school.

Message from the Teachers

All the teachers at CSPS would like to congratulate all the students for their efforts and hard work in mathematics. Keep up the great work.
