Mathematics and Life 33 A checklist of issues in maths learning

A checklist of some possible reasons of low maths score


This checklist could be very handy to broadly identify one or more reasons for the child underperforming in mathematics. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, but is indicative.

  • Fear of the subject per se’. Listening to others that maths is difficult

  • Too many expectations from the parents

  • No study environment at home

  • The student being the first person to go for formal education. FGL First Generation of Learner take longer time than others to catch up.

  • Parents being indifference or not interested in the child

  • Lack of space to study and concentrate

  • The teacher being very strict unreasonable and has poor communication skills

  • A teacher insulting the child for no reason

  • The teacher unable to connect child to  the subject

  • The teacher asking very e difficult questions right in the beginning off the tests

  • The student it is overburdened with lot of work regularly being given by many teacher at the same time

  • The student lacks sufficient language ability to understand what is being talked about in the class. Neo rich parents admit child in very high level school

  • The student's learning speed is not compatible with the average class speed.

  • There is some emotional distraction to the child like death in the family or parents in continuous dispute

  • The child is actually not good at mathematics and needs personal help and attention

  • The child has an overall disinterest in studies for some reasons.

  • The course is really heavy  for the child. Many times parents enroll a child in some fancy course beyond the child capacity. Like IIT coaching whereas the child struggled to clear 10th mathematics.

Mathematics and Life 23 Improving school mathematics 8

  Improving school mathematics 8 The role of parents 2 Mathematics is the science of recognising, understanding, appreciating, creating and using patterns in day to day life, business, sciences, work life, technology. In the last post we saw how parental influence becomes counterproductive and even limits a child's ability to perform. Now we will see what parents can do to boost a child's morale. Besides not doing unequal comparisons, expecting too much from the child, making public insults, the positive things parents can do are Give quality time to the child Encourage developing a study routine,, schedule in general Informally explain where education can take the child Accompany the child of school meetings  Besides these broad tips, using lot of love and common sense, parents can help the kid enjoy her studying maths. I also saw these videos which I guess will be very useful  9 tips to improve concentration https://youtu.be/LFIiW5BQP00 5 step formula  https://yout...

Mathematics and Life 95 Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education

  Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education Background Intelligence has been the factor on which the human race takes the highest pride and feels that it has Intelligence of the highest level. It is so because only human beings have all the five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fully developed. Moreover, only human being have the unique ability to express ideas, feelings in their own written or spoken words. In the beginning of the 20th century a lot of research was done on human intelligence. Their types, levels, measurements, enhancement. In the early 1980s, Dr. Howard Gardener gave his theory of multiple Intelligences.  Quoting successful cases of great musicians, players, business tycoons, religious leaders who never went school, he proposed that just relying on academic Intelligence is not the way to define Intelligence and gave eight traits of distinctly different types of intelligences. They are Linguistic Intelligence - what we measure in formal e...

Mathematics and Life 45 Experiential Learning

The role of experience In the behaviour school of psychology, who treat, observe, measure only the behavioural aspects, modification in behaviour is considered learning. For example, if you are training your dog to get the ball back, it does it, it has learnt what it means to get the ball back. Closer to us, if the teacher has just taught the concept of odd and even and now asks her 10 students to arrange themselves in odd number of rows and they make five rows with two students in each,they can be seen to have learnt the concept of odd and even. With more practice, it can be further consolidated. The mega companies like Jio, Amazon, Google, Facebook and others too have what is called experiential marketing as their backbone. Using, AI and applying big data, machine learning, techniques they study you and provide experiences you have been preferring to choose.  In this video, the high energy, very motivated friend of mine Dr. Sapna Agrawal takes us to the journey of providing exper...
