Best Practices--Making Math Relevant
Bafumo, Mary Ellen
Teaching Pre K-8, v36 n4 p10, 12 Jan 2006
The easiest way to learn anything is to make the topic or activity relevant to life. The same is true for math. If teachers clearly demonstrate the relevancy of math to everyday life, students can more easily see the purpose of learning and embracing the subject. But before teachers make math relevant, they will need to overcome one more roadblock--negative mindsets about math. This article briefly describes how this can be done.
