MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: SOME ASPECTS CONNECTED TO ITS CONTENT
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2017, Vol 75, Issue 6
Abstract
The literature concerning the various methods by means of which the teaching of mathematics can be developed is simply huge and is increasing more and more. Several aspects are dealt with: the use of new technologies, especially as far as new computer programs or web sources are concerned; new techniques to develop calculations; researches concerning the possible relations between the everyday life of the pupils/students and the mathematical concepts; the best way to frame a lesson (frontal lessons, interactive lessons, discussions), and so on. This literature covers the entire school-life of a young boy/girl: from the elementary school to the university.
