    Learning Activity to Support Bilingual

    This game can be adapted in many ways to reinforce simple or complex math. All versions of the game are best when used in small groups of two to four students; the larger the group, the less math practice each participant will get that is why it is important to stick to three or less players. Another way to adapt this same activity is by having three or more dice. They can find the sum of all the dice. High academic students can roll the three dice, add the numbers of two of the dice, and then subtract the number of the third dice. Bilingual learners will feel at ease with this activity due to the fact that the entire class will be working on the…

    Once we have got children to play a number of mathematical games, there comes a moment when these games can be discussed, compared with each other. It is good to teach several games with very similar rule structures, but using different materials, so that it should become apparent that there is a common core to a number of different looking games, which can later be…

    Integer and Cebu Province Division

    Introduction DAMATH, a patent-pending mathematical board-game invented by five-time national awardee Jesus L. Huenda, is coined from the popular Filipino checkerboard game of dama, (or lady in Spanish) and mathematics. It started in a Sorsogon National High School class in Sorsogon, Philippines and its popularity spread quickly and resulted in the first national DAMATH competitions held at Legaspi City in 1980. He initiated this competition with the support of the Science Foundation of the Philippines. He hopes to introduce DAMATH to secondary math teachers as part of a requirement of his work as PASMEP Fellow at Curtin University / WACAE, Western Australia. Thus if this material, or part of it, is used commercially or otherwise (except for classroom instruction purposes), permission must be secured in writing from him. By the way, DAMATH is part of the inventor’s position paper, Non-formal mathematics education: the Sorsogon National High School experience, delivered at the 1978 First Southeast Asian Conference on Mathematical Education, PICC, Manila; 1979 and 1980 MTAP national conventions at Legaspi City and Quezon City, respectively. 1981, 1983 and 1988 Philippine Expositions, PHILTRADE, Manila; conference, Mandurah, WA; Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers 13th biennial national conference, Hobart. Rationale It is becoming a growing classroom practice in many school subjects, including mathematics, to use games to promote the understanding of concepts and skills. This practice is supported by child psychologist Piaget and Inhelder (1969) and Kohlberg (1969) who are convinced that affective, cognitive, and social development strongly influence one another and develop along parallel lines. There are data to support this statement. Thus, the use of socially interactive mathematical games in…

    My Maths is another example of a website in which children from school can access. It is maths based and as well as revising extra maths to help children at home it can be used for teachers to set homework for students. There are maths games which may help children to understand what they need to learn more efficiently. As it is a different way of teaching it can make it clearer for children who don’t understand in lessons as it used different methods to teach. A disadvantage of my maths however is that it is great for maths but doesn’t offer any other subjects or topics.…
