I addressed the issues of a lack of integration and relevance of mathematics in students' lives by creating a student-centric learning experience. This innovation has ignited a passion for mathematics among my students and aims to tackle some of the challenges faced by my school.
To conduct interview with students, parents and teachers to identify a problem.
To collaborate with the school administration and other subject teachers to develop a comprehensive solution which is aligned with the needs and hopes of the entire school community, to enhance mathematics education and nurture critical thinking skills.
To plan a series of project-based activities. Each activity is oriented to be relevant to the local context, and projects span across various subjects such as physics, chemistry, geography, technology, computer science, domestic studies, and literary studies.
In project-based activities, students investigated key mathematical concepts as they were applied to real-life issues. And to further get a sense of applied mathematics, multiple guest speakers were invited to present how they utilize mathematical concepts in their daily lives; examples include successful entrepreneurs, agricultural experts, government officials, and more. Every so often, “The Mathematical Treasure Chest” also hosted mathematics competitions.
