Construct the answer through Cueing

   implementation The ability to think mathematically and to use mathematical thinking to solve problems is an important goal of schooling.  An ideal teacher of mathematics showing ideas for reaching her students’ full potential. She would have the following tasks ahead of her. The teacher should select an open and reversed task to encourage investigation and mathematical thinking. This means that the teacher should try to understand what the child knows about the concept with a series of how and why questions. List the process in a flow chart on the board. The teacher should start from what the student knows already. For example,  if the student knows addition, she should base her cueing on subtraction on the student's addition skills. Likewise division should be connected to multiplication. In solving creative reasoning exercises, the teacher should guide the children from what they might know already.To the child who has understood the puzzle, she may even ask a f...

In the current methods of teaching mathematics, there are very few pointers to approach a word problem.There is no specific method to solve the different types of the statement sums or word problems. If the child understands how to read the problem and understand what operation he or she needs to do, then the learning is perfect. To get to that situation, the teacher needs to grasp all the methods to solve the different types of questions and make the student aware of these methods. In general, most schools do not emphasize this part in class. They don't teach the students how to break down the question into parts so that the students could understand what they are expected to do. Reading and Comprehension English reading skills are one of the most important facets of this exercise. If the child knows vocabulary and meanings , we can be confident that he or she can read the question fully and try to decip...
