MATHEMATICS TEACHING
In this modern age learning plays an important role. Mathematics has derives role in
building up our civilization. It is more important for the common man also. Mathematics has
not only been useful; in its own right but it has also enriched this world by helping in
development of other fields of knowledge. So it is important to learn mathematics and develop
the skills Active learning methodology make the students as intelligent participants in
knowledge creation. The format used for mathematics teaching in Active learning Methodology
is TIGER FORMAT. It is skill oriented.
Introduction
Today's children are tomorrow's heroes. So teachers and schools are taking important
role in moulding the future buds of our nation. so in order to create interest in learning, the
method of teaching is very important. Active learning Methodology is one of the teaching
method. Active learning is involving students directly and actively in the learning process itself.
Students are not attentive to what is being said in a lecture 49% of the time. They retain
70% of the information in the first 10 minutes of a lecture. But only 2 % in the last 10 minutes.
Through the Active learning Method, students are increasingly active and challenged.
Self-study, Group study, Co-operative learning with teacher and Programmed learning
Learning by understanding
Meaningful learning
TIGER FORMAT
Expansion of this format is as follows:
T-Teacher as a facilitator
I-Individual work
G-Group work
E-Evaluation
R-Reinforcement
Steps in TIGER FORMAT
Introduction
1.
Introduction
In this step the teacher should introduce the topic under three heading.
Evocation:
The teacher should evocate the students by giving puzzles, mathematical games, life
history of mathematicians, interesting incidents in their life etc. Care should be taken whether it
is related to the topic.
Recall :
The teacher ask some questions to check the previous knowledge of the students. The
teacher develops the thinking capability of the students which leads to the topic of the day.
Survey:
The teacher directs the students to check the page number and the topic to be taken. The
students have a glance on the main headings, sub headings, diagrams and definitions. The teacher
should confirm that all the students have the text book with them.
2.
Understanding
Conceptual skill
Sequential skill
Arithmetic skill
Individual Solving Problem
The teacher ask the students to do the similar problem in the exercise done by him
individually.
3.
Group Work
Group work is an important one for mathematics learning. Discussions always help us to
proper understanding of the problem.
Challenging Problems
The teacher gives the challenging problems to the students in group wise.
A group contains five to six students only. The problem should develop the thinking
ability of the students. The teacher clear their doubts by orally or writing on the black board.
Group Activity
The group activity given should be related to the topic. The teacher supervises the groups
whether they are doing the work correctly. After finishing, the small groups present their activity
to the large group.
Presentation
An average student from each group presents their problem on the black board. After
finishing the problem, all students are asked write it on their note book.

Evaluation :
Evaluation is an important task in the teaching-learning process.
