How to teach Mathematics especially Multiplications.
One of the topics that pupils usually had a low percentage passes is in multiplication because most topics in the upper primary syllabus involve multiplying especially Division, Measurement, Money, Time, Rate, Area, Volume, Fraction, Percentage, Mental computation and Problem solving. Multiplication is a common problem in most schools.
By having a variety of methods and strategies to help the pupils to understand mathematical concepts better the pupils are given the chance to think that Mathematics is not fixed and can have numbers of ways of solving a problem. Having these methods hopefully will bring out the interest and fun in learning Mathematics and the misunderstanding of concept will no longer exist. As pupils acquire new strategies in learning Mathematics they tend to abandon older slower and less accurate ones.
Some methods which are suggested by CDD are multiple representations, diagrams, real objects and especially the usage of ICT.
