Description

Math is all around us. Whether we are shopping, cooking, painting a wall, or planning a trip, we are constantly making calculations, and estimates, and using mental arithmetic. Yet, because of how it is taught, kids often fail to make that connection and see math as a dry, boring academic subject only relevant at school. This course is intended to inspire primary teachers to deliver mathematics in a practical and fun way, to captivate their students with the beauty and utility of numbers. Useful for both those teaching math in English (CLIL) and first language math teachers, participants will acquire new tools and techniques to engage students in the world of mathematics, using games, role play, and interactive activities that go far beyond the textbook. The course will highlight real-world relevant topics - such as healthy eating - using numbers and interpretation to equip children to understand how to make effective choices in these domains. The course will also show how mathematics can be threaded through every subject, allowing theory to be taught through the students’ interests. This new take on teaching mathematics in English will allow you to deliver the curriculum through problem-solving, real-life situations, play, design, art, and nutrition. Through group activities, presentations, brainstorming, and practical experiments, participants will learn how to provide engaging and innovative exercises and activities for their students.
