Teaching Of Elementary Mathematics Part III
The teaching-learning of rational numbers (e.g. ‘Fractions’ and ‘Decimals’) at primary level should be built on pupils’ previous knowledge of whole-number concepts and skills plus their experiences with fractional numbers in everyday life. It cannot be denied that many pupils face difficulties in the learning of ‘Fractions’ and ‘Decimals’ and often develop misconceptions.
Study the Year Four Malaysian Curriculum Specifications for Primary Mathematics and identify what Year Four pupils need to learn about ‘Fractions’ and ‘Decimals’. Create a concept map to summarise major mathematical concepts and skills as well as relationships pertaining to these two topics.
State and describe TWO common difficulties each encountered in the learning of ‘Fractions’ and ‘Decimals’ by Year Four pupils. List and clarify TWO possible misconceptions each arising from the learning of these two topics.
Suggest ways to help children overcome the difficulties and misconceptions highlighted using suitable teaching-learning activities and resources.
Search for relevant supporting literature from various sources. Present your points in the form of a written report using a suitable format.
