Learning Strategies Mathematics is often the most challenging subject for students. Much of the trouble comes from the fact that mathematics is about logical thinking, not memorizing rules or remembering formulas. It requires a different style of thinking than other subjects. The students who seem to be “naturally” good at math just happen to adopt the correct strategies of thinking that math requires – often they don’t even realise it. We have isolated several key learning strategies used by successful maths students and have made icons to represent them. These icons are distributed throughout the book in order to remind students to adopt these necessary learning strategies:

Talk Aloud Many students sit and try to do a problem in complete silence inside their heads. They think that solutions just pop into the heads of ‘smart’ people. You absolutely must learn to talk aloud and listen to yourself, literally to talk yourself through a problem. Successful students do this without realising. It helps to structure your thoughts while helping your tutor understand the way you think. BackChecking This means that you will be doing every step of the question twice, as you work your way through the question to ensure no silly mistakes. For example with this

    Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001, p271) concludes that children “are self-motivated to investigate patterns, shapes, measurement, the meaning of numbers, and how numbers work, but they need assistance to bring these ideas to an explicit level of awareness.” Children learn mathematical ways of thinking, such as counting, subitising and patterning from a young age. The absence of mathematical understanding and ways of thinking, restricts children from grasping the concepts and processes they are learning. Booker et al. (2010) says children who lack early mathematical thinking are unable to link ideas and instead are provided with the skills of obtaining answers in unrelated ways. Developing mathematical thinking from a young age provides a meaningful basis for children to make connections between the full range of mathematical concepts (Booker et al., 2010).…

    We wanted to change the academic behavior of the students by providing explicit learning goals with our math instruction. From previous experience and reflection, we discovered visual goals were not sufficient for teacher and student application. Upon this reflection, we implemented explicit goal instruction by reciting the goals using actions, movement, and chants before each math lesson. When the learning targets were communicated and modeled by the teacher, students were more engaged in the learning process and Along with explicit instruction, we decided to create goal folders for assessments and one-on-one student teacher conferencing. Our purpose of the folders was to connect their goals to their academic achievement (Martin, Elliot, 2015). Not only do learning targets help the students understand what they are learning, they both help the students and teachers more precisely assess what is required for mastery and when mastery is reached (Konrad, 2014).…

    This quote encapsulates the essence of changing the focus of the mathematics tutorial to action rather than just solving and writing either alone or in small groups. Although, students do not always appreciate the journey to a solution, particularly an incorrect one, this navigation is where learning is occurring. Aspects of Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Levels and Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences are utilised in the conducting of this new format tutorial session.…
