Communication in Mathematics

There are three main types of communication in mathematics: oral communication, written communication, and representation. Oral communication involves interactive processes like listening and speaking. Written communication shares mathematical ideas through writing. Representation analyzes and interprets mathematical problems by translating between different modes. Communication in mathematics can also occur through reading, listening, and visualization processes. In the classroom, this may involve collecting and arranging ideas through reading, making decisions by responding to what is heard, and making observations and diagrams through visualization. The five pillars of mathematics teaching are problem solving, communication, reasoning, representation, and technology. An example of engaging problem solving is giving comprehensive exercises covering various problems. An example of communication is discussing ideas and clarifying understanding through talking and

Communication in mathematics 5. Name and explain briefly three types of communication in mathematics. Give 3 examples for each of them.

1. oral communication 2. written communication 3. representation a) oral communication


Oral communication is an interactive process that involves activities like listening, speaking, reading and observing. It is a two-way interaction that takes place between teacherpupil, pupil-pupil, and pupil-object. Examples Story-telling, question and answer sessions using own words; Asking and answering questions; Structured and unstructure interviews

b) written communication
Written communication is the process whereby mathematical ideas and information are shared with others through writing. The written work is usually the result of discussions, contributions and brain-storming activities when working on assignments. Through writing, the pupils will be encouraged to think more deeply about the mathematics content and observe the relationships between concepts. Examples of written communication activities are: Doing exercises; Keeping scrap books; Keeping folios;

c) Representation Representation is a process of analysing a mathematical problem and interpreting it from one mode to another. Mathematical representation enables pupils to find relationship between mathematical ideas that are informal, intuitive and abstract using their everyday language. Pupils will realise that some methods of representation are more effective and useful if they know how to use the elements of mathematical representation. Examples :

6) Communication in mathematics can occur through in the following processes : i) reading process ii) listening process iii) visualization process explain how each of these processes can occur in mathematics class i) reading process Communication in mathematics through the reading process takes place when an individual collects information or data and rearranges the relationship between ideas and concepts. ii) listening process Communication in mathematics through the listening process occurs when individuals respond to what they hear and this encourages them to think using their mathematical knowledge in making decisions. iii) visualization process Communication in mathematics through the visualization process takes place when an individual makes observation, analyses it,

interprets and synthesizes the data into graphic forms, such as pictures, diagrams, tables and graphs.

7) 5 pillars are the foundation in teaching and learning of mathematics a) name them and explain briefly each of them b) give one example on how you engage each of the 5 pillars in your mathematic class. 1. Problem Solving in Mathematics Problem solving is the main focus in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Understanding mathematical procedures and solving problems are two skills that emerge naturally when relational understanding is focussed approaches should be upon. As a result, problem solving to investigate and understand used

mathematical content. The teaching learning process must include exercises on problem solving skills which are comprehensive and cover the whole curriculum. The development of these skills must to be emphasized so that pupils are able to solve various problems effectively. 2. Communication in Mathematics

Communication

is

one

way

to

share

ideas

and

clarify

the

understanding of Mathematics. Through talking and questioning, mathematical ideas can be reflected upon, discussed and modified. The process of reasoning analytically and systematically can help reinforce and strengthen pupils knowledge and understanding of mathematics to a deeper level. Through effective communications pupils will become efficient in problem solving and be able to explain concepts and mathematical skills to their peers and teachers.
