Data Management and probability...Does that make the rest of you as nervous as it makes me? How the heck are we supposed to teach students about probability...I've come to learn after our presentations in class this week that the best way to do that, is by playing games! Who wouldn't have loved to play games in school and learn at the same time?
Some of the best ways to have students gain a conceptual understanding of a certain concept is by having them experiment with real life activities. Things such as card games, money tossing and rolling a pair of die are great ways to have students become engaged in the lesson without having them "hurt their brains" trying to grasp a concept.
Students need to want to learn something to be able to grasp a concept. We as educators, need to make them want to learn, make it engaging, make it fun and encourage them to want to try new things. How do we do this? By making it encouraging, by providing them with as many opportunities as possible to succeed and to test their abilities.
Empowering students is something that we need to do as educators, making them confident in their abilities to succeed, not only in math, however in all subjects. Math is one of the more tricky ones that students might need a little bit more of a push in. Not every student is obligated to fall in love with math, we will always encounter students who really do struggle with it however we can't simply give up on those students because we think it is too difficult to get them to that next level or to pass that upcoming quiz.
I have yet to see the students in my placement take on the Data Management and Probability strand however I look forward to seeing how they will handle it and I look even more forward to seeing how I will learn through them. I have had the opportunity to see things through their eyes and it has opened my mind up to so many more possibilities in the world of education.
