Name:
Teaching a New Kind of Math
Description:
I feel that students can benefit so much more from getting life experience while teaching math. I have decided to get rid of the text book. My students are creating businesses to help them understand what they are doing in school could help them in real life. Using scenerios to force them to thing about math problems. This is a work in progress and would like any info or comments.

I share same opinion; maths for some pupils just feels like a mad game that fits no where in daily life. By relating teaching to real life situations makes it great and facilitates learning.

i always give real life examples while teaching math in the classroom and also encourage the students to give me examples from their real life.

Fabo idea! Most of our teaching these days in too textually based. Children need to see how what they are learning can be incorporated into their daily lives. Seeing, touching and experiencing is a more realistic approach to learning. Would love to share ideas and find out how this approach works for you.

I think your Idea is a great one. Anything that gets kids out of the textbooks has to be better than the norm. Best of luck!
