Constructivism TSTRAT4

The document discusses constructivism as a learning model where students learn through hands-on experiences rather than lectures. It was conceptualized by Jean Piaget who believed children learn by doing and constructing knowledge from experiences. The document provides examples of constructivist teaching principles in mathematics, which focus on student-centered and active learning through problem-solving, collaboration, scaffolding, and reflection.

CONSTRUCTIVISM

 Is learning model that teachers though hands-on


experiences rather than that lectures.
 Was conceptualized by education theorist Jean Piaget. He
believes that “ Young children learn by doing,
constructing knowledge from experiences rather than
from adults telling them about their world”.
CONSTRUCTIVISM

 According to jean piaget, and others who


practice what is known as constructivist
education, the method most likely to truly
educate the students is the one in which they
experience their world.
Example:

Sc e na rio 1 scenario2
A teacher provides a glass
A teacher told the student, and lets the children pour
“four glasses of water will water into the pitcher.
fill this pitcher” They are learning how
much water it takes to fill
the pitcher
 In teaching mathematics, applying constructivist principles
involves engaging student in activities that allow them to explore
mathematical concept, solve problems, and build their own
understanding though hands on experiences.
 Teaching mathematics using constructivist principles, educators
focus on creating a student centered learning environment where
student are actively involved in their learning process. This
approach promotes critical thinking, problem solving skills, and a
deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

Different principles in teaching
mathematics to promote
literacy and numeracy skills
1. Story Problem Solving

Create story-based math problems that relate to real-life


situations. Encourage students to read the problem, identify
the mathematical concepts involved, and solve it using
critical thinking skills.
Example:
2. Mathematical manipulative
Provide hands-on manipulatives
such as blocks, counters, or
shapes for students to explore
mathematical concepts concretely.
This tactile approach helps
students visualize and understand
abstract mathematical ideas.
Example:
3. Math Centers
Set up math centers with various
activities that promote literacy and
numeracy skills, such as math
games, puzzles, and interactive
tasks. Rotating through different
centers allows students to engage
with math in diverse ways.
Example:
4. Vocabulary building

Teach and reinforce math vocabulary through activities like


word walls, vocabulary games, and context-based exercises.
Example:
5. Peer collaboration
Foster peer collaboration through
group activities where students
work together to solve math
problems, discuss solutions, and
explain their reasoning to each
other. Collaborative learning
enhances communication skills and
deepens understanding of
mathematical concepts.
