The area of mathematics does not work in isolation. The use of literacy in the form of written word, oral communication and new media is a problem solution active in mathematics education. Bears travel is a means through which students participate actively in their learning are. The reason for this is because the class teddy bear is to travel around the world and various mathematical concepts are appropriate to set the classroom settingThe information is in the classroom, on the road because of the teddy bear.
Before diving into the integration of literacy and numeracy, literacy word to define. There are four areas within the language curriculum in reading, writing, oral language and media. According to Dictionary.com, literacy refers directly state to be [literate with knowledge and skills] in reading and writing. Literacy refer to those skills in a particularArea. For example: media literacy. The oral form of language refers to the ability of students to communicate and express ideas and thoughts by the spoken word. These four areas are defined in the language program can be easily integrated into math curriculum.
What allows the combination of reading, writing and mathematics, the inclusion of information from the bear has received travel: to experience the world of teddy bears, their traveling companions are returning AdventureStories in class or out to students via email.
This is well illustrated by the following example. [Note: The bear is the real name, objectives, real and licenses for creative illustrative] purposes are used.
Iggy, the teddy bear is enthusiastic about his new journey. The travel companion packed his magazine, bought him a warm sweater and with his travel bag, Iggy and the first guide left for California. There, they enjoyedsunsets and beaches. After staying a few days ago met Iggy a few other travelers who went on a cruise in Antarctica, was invited to tag along. What an adventure which should go to Iggy. One of their stops was in Buenos Aires in South America. Iggy was not his excitement when he took the company's image with a series of dolls and toys from that moment a friend. Later, after in Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost arrivedCity in the world, Iggy took his picture in a mailbox and a member of the cruise ship. Crossed Cape Horn, saw icebergs, traveled in a zodiac sign to see the whales, and landed on Antarctica with Gentoo penguins, sea lions and other residents to visit. Iggy wanted to take the penguin highways, but kept his comrades, not for the slippery slopes to ride.
Using the information in the story of Iggy, mathematics possible, could try to answer students' questionssomething. How long did it take Iggy to travel to get from point A to point B? What was the distance traveled by Iggy the teddy bear? Iggy temperatures that are experienced in their various destinations? [This could lead to further research, if the partner has not joined Teddy's Journal] What penguin highways are and what is the average distance of a road penguin? What is the distance between Ushuaia and Antarctica? As the cold water, where Iggy traveled? Asmean temperatures than the expert on where you live? Collects data of dates, places, times and temperatures during the voyages of Iggy. The graph of the results with bar charts, pie charts, line charts. Note the models with your results?
In the course of answering math questions, students are communicating with the reading [see the problem, as calls for research to the] problem, start writing [for information with the] word written and spokenThe results of the problem. As a possible extension of this mathematical problem, is putting together a presentation of the media, to disclose such information in a story reading and mathematics to complete the connection mathematics.
Teddy Bears and their travels, not only for students, but their ownership of the Bears created a sense of commitment to the project and will want to work with information on their teddy bears. Teachers benefit because their students are motivated. Another advantageTeachers is to reduce the number of devices necessary assessments for students: a multi-step math problem integrated concepts of literacy and mathematical concepts to assess the need for vehicles to separate assessment. With this approach, the writing may be aspects of reading, oral communication and media at the same time to evaluate is the fact that mathematical concepts taught.
Mathematics is often regarded as an entity in the curriculum. ByIncluding stories and adventures of Teddy Travelling in the curriculum of math, accumulating a number of advantages: notification of student results integrated into the literacy component of the curriculum, increases motivation and student learning and integration reduces the number of vehicles required assessment by the teacher in assessing students.
