Situation Analysis
Mathematics educators all over the world continuously struggle towards upgrading the quality of mathematics learning, with emphasis being placed on elevating learners’ positive attitude towards the subject. School administrators continuously exert great effort in searching for and utilizing better methods, strategies, techniques and instructional materials to propel better students’ performance in mathematics in particular and better school performance in mathematics in general. This significant move of schools to effect better instruction to students in order to enhance their mathematics performance is dependent on mathematics teachers who are the purveyors of basic knowledge and skills in the subject. An institution

The main agenda of the school is to give good, if not the best education to its students. Education is the primary instrument of transformation towards sustainable development, which increases people’s capacity to transform their vision into reality. Laurie, et.al (2016) pointed out that education for sustainable development helps prepare students for a sustainable future by ensuring that they are environmentally responsible, globally aware, economically astute, socially responsible, and technologically proficient citizens who are capable of coping with the emerging challenges and opportunities we are facing …show more content…
Certain studies and researches on students’ performance in mathematics proved that students are declining in terms of their performance in the subject. According to Jamil, Mastura and Imam (2013) the performance of Filipino students in the 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in which the Filipino second year high school students ranked 41st in math out of 46 participants, stuck at the bottom while struggling at a passing level locally. Students’ performance in the National Achievement Test (NAT) was even more discouraging. According to Kiwanuka (2015) many factors are connected with mathematics achievement: society, families, schools, teachers, peers and individual abilities. In order to attain the national goals related to scientific literacy, it is necessary to determine what factors influence achievement of students in mathematics. In short, there is a need to analyze all related research, make appropriate policies and develop effective educational methods to improve science and mathematics education. In order to promote greater student achievement and meet increased expectations, Mathematics teacher will need a battery of instructional materials to fulfill students’ needs. Students will more likely see the value of the lesson if the instructional materials and student-assigned tasks reflect the worth of the content. The choice of instructional
Guided Practice PERFORMANCE TASK(S): The students are expected to learn the Commutative and Associative properties of addition and subtraction during this unit. This unit would be the beginning of the students being able to use both properties up to the number fact of 20. The teacher would model the expectations and the way the work is to be completed through various examples on the interactive whiteboard. Students would be introduced to the properties, be provided of their definitions, and then be walked through a step by step process of how equations are done using the properties.
According to research, education has been a key factor for improving people’s quality of life (Guijarro-Garfield et al., 2022). Many people can now pursue dream goals in life. More people are also contributing to the growth of America by becoming scientists and developing much needed new technology. Even though the NDEA has already helped education tremendously, many new improvements are still to come. In addition, amongst other targets, the Sustainable Development Goal seeks to ensure that every child completes free primary education by the year 2030 (Guijarro-Garfield et al., 2022).
5. What action should Principal Miller take to ensure that the alternative selected will give consideration to the principle of effective instruction and will influence the implementation of a curriculum based on research, the expertise of the teachers, and the characteristics of a learned
Once the environment is perceived as an equal part of an individual’s community, the human ethical spirit will respect the environment, cherish its benefits and beauty, and be obligated to preserve it. If future generations are taught to create harmony between the three pillars of society: economic, social, and environmental, further damage to the environment can be
Additionally, the tasks need to be constructive and interlinked and provide a challenge to the students while also acting as a motivation factor. The adopting of effective teaching to match the personal strengths of the students ensures that a student’s learning outcome is achieved Holistic assessment should be encouraged to understand what the learner has captured on a learning
Students will be enriched when assessing the information attained from these
Part B Introduction The importance of Geometry Children need a wealth of practical and creative experiences in solving mathematical problems. Mathematics education is aimed at children being able to make connections between mathematics and daily activities; it is about acquiring basic skills, whilst forming an understanding of mathematical language and applying that language to practical situations. Mathematics also enables students to search for simple connections, patterns, structures and rules whilst describing and investigating strategies. Geometry is important as Booker, Bond, Sparrow and Swan (2010, p. 394) foresee as it allows children the prospect to engage in geometry through enquiring and investigation whilst enhancing mathematical thinking, this thinking encourages students to form connections with other key areas associated with mathematics and builds upon students abilities helping students reflect
I agree with the assertion that in the context of Sustainable Development ‘the reality of life today is that the economy dominates environment and society. The Concept of Sustainable Development Sustainable development refers to “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”, and was produced by the Brundtland report (WCED, 1987). The concept also takes into account the needs of the poor in developing countries by outlining achievable objectives of importance (WCED, 1987).
The conclusion conveyed at the end of this paper, will be that sustainable development is a concept with weaknesses however, the strengths outweigh them. To begin with, the concept of sustainable development famously culminated in 1987 with the United Nations 'Commission on Environment and Development ' also known as the 'Brundtland Report ' (Everard & Longhurt, 2017; pp. 1244). The article introduced, the most widely known definition of Sustainable development as "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987).
Some students feel like math is a new language. When students fail to work in a math class they may feel scare and try to ran away math as much as possible in the future. Some math teacher doesn’t know the beauty of math. Many students think that they do not need math in future for example some want to be a footballer but they thought they don’t need math of course even football need math like having angles. Some of the students aren’t patience of wronging so they try to avoid math as much as possible.
Sustainability: If you take a look around at what’s really happening in our world, there’s an inescapable pattern of ‘what’s going on is simply unsustainable’ and in other words, it can’t go on for much longer. Sustainability is to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. As cities began to grow with the population increase, the need for a sustainable development became more apparent as resources began to diminish in quantity and value. Left to it’s own devices, the Earth is a sustainable system.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) states that environmental education is vital in imparting an inherent respect for nature amongst society and in enhancing public environmental awareness. UNESCO emphasises the role of environmental education in safeguarding future global developments of societal quality of life, through the protection of the environment, eradication of poverty, minimization of inequalities and insurance of sustainable
A modification changes or adapts the material to make it simpler. Students may be taught less information than typical students, skipping over material that the school deems inappropriate for the student's abilities or less important than other subject, may do shorter homework assignment, use a calculator when other students do not, and students with a slower processing speed may benefit from extended time for assignments or tests in order to have more time to comprehend questions, recall information, and synthesize knowledge. As it can be seen, the instructional strategies that are employed are extremely
It is my goal to make sure students are not just memorizing facts, but are actually understanding. They should be able to take the lesson and apply it to other areas of their lives. I believe students need to be assessed frequently and routinely. The students need accurate and effective feedback, so they can make any necessary adjustments.
