From my experience as mathematics teacher, I discovered students are not as bad in mathematics as their grades suggest. They are mostly lazy mentally. They have created a kind of blockade even before listening to explanations.</p><p>The first thing is your students have to like you first before they like mathematics or whatever subject you are teaching. From a teacher's first day in class, (S)he must have a way of breaking the teacher/student wall. It will be easier to students to listen to your every single words once you develop a connection.</p><p>While it can be hard in some topics, using examples and description students are familiar with helps. For example, you can number of boys/number of girls against total number in class when explaining probability or pocket money to explain word problem. They can relate to these example and it makes the class interesting.</p><p>Create friendly competition. The most memorable class I had with the students was when I created a competition. This competitive atmosphere led to a lot of fun even for the final year students, and me. It was like they all wanted to prove how intelligent they are. Giving a small gift to the winner(s) add to the effect on them.</p><p>I hope those points help.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3deccl85","appParentAuthor":"giftedminds","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
