[Faculty of Education] Let's find "mathematics" around us! ~ "Arithmetic I"

There are many mathematical phenomena around children.However, if you do not see it with that intention, you will miss it.In mathematics learning, students not only acquire "knowledge and skills" such as calculations and the properties of figures, but also "know" and "feel" that mathematics exists and is useful in everyday life. It is important.

In "Mathematics I", we conducted "Finding Mathematics" as a class to enrich the way of looking at and thinking about mathematics.The method of activity is as follows.

 (XNUMX) Find things that use math, or use math, and take pictures of them.

"It was very interesting to see that mathematics is hidden and overflowing in everyday life and around us, even though we are not usually aware of it." However, when I changed my point of view and changed my perspective, I realized that mathematics was hidden." "When I became an adult, preconceptions and stereotypes were planted in me, and it was difficult to find mathematics in my surroundings."

Even for university students, it seems that there were "difficulty", "interesting", and "new discoveries".

Today, everyone has a tablet PC.
