Goals In this lesson, we aimed to provide the association with mathematical concepts, different representation of these mathematical concepts, real-life problems and other disciplines of the preservice students.
Course Content Establishing relationships between concepts and processes; expressing mathematical concepts and rules with different representations; associating different mathematical concepts with each other; associating mathematics with other subjects; associating mathematics with everyday life.
Learning Outcomes - Students will make the relation between mathematical concepts and sub-concepts.
- Students will associate between different representations of concepts.
- Students will examine the use of mathematical concepts in real life context.
- Students will examine the connection of mathematical concepts with different disciplines.
- Students will prepare a micro teaching lesson project related to the association processes in secondary school mathematics teaching.
