Math Rebus Innovative practice in teaching learning process

Math Rebus Innovative practice in teaching learning process of Mathematics

Focus on 21 st Century skills

21 st Century Student Outcomes 1. the development of core academic subject. 2. knowledge and understanding among all students. 3. think critically and communicate.

21 st Century Student Learning and Innovation Skills • Creativity and Innovation • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving • Communication and Collaboration

2 1 st C E N T U R Y SUPPORT SYSTEMS An innovative support system must be created to help students to master over the multidimensional abilities that will be required of them.

Observations on NCF-2005 In its guiding principles : 1. connecting knowledge to real life from outside the school 2. ensuring that learning is shifted away from rote methods 3. enriching the curriculum to provide for overall development of children rather than remain textbook centric • .

Observations on NCF-2005 In the chapter of learning and knowledge 1. The development of understanding and of competencies is also possible only through repeated opportunities to use the competencies in different situation and in a variety of ways. 2. Teachers to plan for children's development and the gradual and cumulative deepening of abilities, competencies and concepts. 3. Teaching should aim at enhancing children’s natural desire and strategies to learn.

Andhra Pradesh basing on the guiding principles of NCF-2005 and RTE-2009, APSCF-2011 Set the Standards as • • • 1. conceptual understanding 2. Reasoning 3. Communication 4. Connections 5. Representation

Need of the hour • In teaching mathematics we have to give space for estimation, approximation, decision making, Analygation, connection communication and visualization • we have to assess them also.

In this context To cater the needs of 21 st century skills of mathematics The suggested activity is Math Rebus

What is Rebus? • A Rebus is a method that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words. Rebus, which Latin expression signifies "not by words but by things”

What is Math Rebus? • Math rebus is a method to improve the math nature and math communication among the students. • It is an example for assessment as learning

How can we use math rebus? • • It can be used as brain storming It can be used as concept builder It can be used as competency improver It can be used as assessment tool

Construction steps involved in making a math rebus Desired competency Level / class Known Pictures Known situation Level of thinking roper instructions

Rebus can be made on Computer, and also on black board

On black board

Modal Math Rebus

After teaching Ascending and descending concept This rebus has to be exhibited to the student Student Observe the slide and identify the mathematics in it(Appreciating Maths) Student visualize the concept of order and give the answer

Deriving various rebuses for a specific concept

Targeted concept substraction

Think on it’s utility

Observation on this practice • Students nature towards the mathematics has turned positively • Students appreciation of mathematics has increased • The problem solving skill of students enormously increased • The visualization of students has increased • Maths phobia students are also responding positively

Give this advantage to our children
