I-Taukei Students Fail Mathematics In Suva Methodist Primary?" Introduction - clearly stated highlighting what is to be covered in the chapter "Failure in Mathematics means failure in life."(Wilson 2014) Life is full of complications and thus needs skills and knowledge for instant resolutions. In order to engage successfully in life one has to be able to make wise decisions to solve problems. One of the ways to be able to solve problems is by using mathematics. Mathematics begins as soon as
Mathematics is proposed to seek out patterns and utilize them to devise new conjectures. The learning gap in mathematics of high school students causes for an alarm. Many high school students who are enrolled in Algebra 2 or Geometry lack the fundamental mathematical skills to succeed. High school mathematics teachers have difficulty filling this void while meeting prescribed time frame for units and benchmarks. For this reason, I want to explore the topic: Constructivism: How does constructivism
the interest and academic performance of secondary school students in Mathematics in a metropolitan city in Nigeria. The respondents for this study were 525 students and 75 teachers. A survey was conducted to identify some of the factors hindering the teaching and learning of mathematics in the study area using a structured questionnaire as a means of data collection. We designed two separate questionnaires for both mathematics students and teachers. The investigation shows that lack of qualified
Standards vs. Minnesota Math Standards What are the common core standards for education? What is their purpose? Have all fifty states adopted the common core standards? What are the Minnesota standards of education? Is one set of standards better than the other? These are questions that many educators and future educators are asking and contemplating. This paper will attempt to explain and give a better understanding of the importance of standards in education. The common core standards are a set

What is meant here is not administrating some questionnaires haphazardly, but being aware of each step taken and having a rationale for taking it. In other words, teachers should choose the right tools to identify their students’ learning styles and strategies
theory, RME is an approach specifically developed for learning mathematics. Freudhental (1971) in Daryanto and Tasrial (2012) instead that RME combines view of what the mathematics, how students learn mathematics and how mathematics should be taught. Based on the above background, a study is conducted by using contextual problems as an effort to enhance student conceptual understanding of
. Bachelor of Science (BSc): I have always had a passion for maths or rather numbers and being able to solve problems using numbers. Additionally, Mathematics is my best and most preferable subject. I want to specialise in something I love and love doing- which is Mathematics. ii. Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBCH): My second passion is knowing more about the human body and being able to do something is there were to be anything wrong regards to it. I have much interest in

Teachers are the backbone of education. They are the ones who build a foundation for the success of their students. A teacher should provide quality education despite adversity, an education leading each student to the epitome of achieving their goals to be successful professionals. Teachers are expected to meet each demand and to deliver his/her best ability not only to create a good product but also to improve excellence in the academic community. Teachers are the creators of individuals who someday
