Joubert‚ M. (Ed.) Proceedings of the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics 29(1) March 2009 Exploring Children’s Attitudes towards Mathematics Ben Ashby University of Warwick This paper explores the behaviour‚ attitudes and beliefs of primary school pupils towards mathematics in the classroom and the impact that this may have on their mathematical ability. The study focused on year 3 pupils from a local school‚ some of whom took part in focus groups towards the end of

The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010). Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001‚ p271)

Question 1 Determine the slope for line 2x+12y-6=0 2x+12y=6 12y=-2x+6 y=-2x/12+6/12 y=-x/6+1/2 ∴m=-1/6 Find the slope of the required line‚ which is "m" (-1/6)("m" )=-1 (m)=6 Now‚ substitute m=6 into equation y=mx+c ‚i.e. y=6x+c. This line passed through point (2‚4). So‚ we substitute x=2‚y=4 into y=6x+c. 4=6(2)+c 4-12=c c=-8 ∴ The equation of the straight line that we are looking for is y=6x-8

HOW TO SUCCEED IN MATHEMATICS. Step 1: Hard work trump’s natural talent. As in most everything ‚ the people who are most successful in mathematics are the one who work the hardest ‚ not those with “natural talent’’ in school‚ those who work hard get better grade in mathematics than the ‘’smart’’ students whom just coast .Most aspect of mathematics can only be learnt by hand practice. This holds true whether you want to develop your problem solving abilities or your computational skills. No one

Philosophy through Mathematics For centuries mathematics has been the bases to almost everything we do. Whether we are dealing with complex physics or modern medicine‚ without mathematics almost nothing we have now would be possible. Mathematics is a broad topic that can be broken down into many different categories. Most people limit their mathematics to just basic arithmetic and some geometry but the world of mathematics can be expanded to be so much more. The world of mathematics includes more than

WHY PROBLEM SOLVING? • Problem solving is the most basic of mathematical skills- the reason for studying mathematics • Problem solving is an integral part of the larger area of critical thinking‚ which is universally accepted goal for all education • Problem solving shows an interaction between mathematical ideas • In the classroom can lessen the gap between real world problem and the classroom worlds and thus set more positive mood in the classroom. WHAT IS PROBLEM? The

“Is mathematics discovered or invented?” To commence with this essay‚ we must first understand a few key words used in this statement and question. ‘Mathematics’ is generally believed to be the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity‚ structure‚ space‚ and change‚ and also the academic discipline that studies them. Whereas ‘discover’ and ‘invent’ means to find information‚ a place or an object‚ especially for the first time and to design or create something which has never been made
