Effective Teaching Strategies in Primary Mathematics

This document discusses visualization strategies in primary mathematics teaching. It begins by defining visualization in mathematics as using mental images to understand mathematical concepts. It then lists some of the roles of visualization, including making learning easier and more fun, simplifying concepts, and enhancing the learning process by relying less on memorization. The document provides an example visualization activity where students imagine combining 3D shapes to understand properties of the new shape created. It asks students to visualize cutting the shape and sketch the new face created to solidify their understanding.

Objectives
To define visualization in mathematics
teaching

To list the roles of visualization in math


teaching

To plan teaching and learning activities


using visualization.
Introduction
 Scientific visualization is an
interdisciplinary branch of science

 Introduced in 1990s by Danial


Thalmann

 new approach in numerical


simulation

 focuses on basic geometric,


What is visualization ?
Read out loud the text inside
the triangle below.
What is visualization ?

 You are only given 2 minutes

 Don’t discuss with others

 Draw something to show you love to


your love one

 Need not be very artistic


What is visualization ?

 Share
with some one and ask for
comments

(I can see love or


I don’t see love can you explain)
What is visualization in
Maths?
 Human perception is very strongly
visual.

 Visualizationappears like something


absolutely natural not only in the
birth of mathematical thought but
also in the discovery of new relations
between mathematical.

 Is an act of calling up a clear visual


What is visualization in
Maths?
 Imaginary is a powerful force for
perception and understanding. Being
able to see something mentally is a
common metaphor for understanding
it. An image may be some
geometrical shapes, or of a graph or
diagram, or it may be some sets of
symbols or some procedure.

 visualization is the creation of a mental


image.
Roles of Visualization
1) Makes learning much easier and is fun.

2) Help to simplify and clarify the concept.

3) Enhances the learning process.

4) Less memorization and verbal instruction


but more visual imaginary.

5) Rapid advancement of technology and


use of computer – an ideal tool for
visualization.
Visualization Activity
 Imagine a square-based pyramid
made out of plasticine in the air in
front of you.
 How many corners , or vertices, has
the shape?
 How many faces?
 Are the faces the same shape?
 Now imagine a cube, with square
faces the same size as the base of
your pyramid, also floating in space.
Visualization Activity
 Slide your pyramid until it sits on top of
the cube, with its base exactly in line with
the top of the cube. Ask yourself some
question about the new solid
 How many vertices has it?
 How many edges?
 How many faces? Are they all the same
shape?
 Now imagine a sharp knife and use it to
make a vertical cut through your solid.
 Examine one of the pieces you now have
and look at the face created by your cut.
 Now sketch the shape of this new face.
 Compare with others.
