Blogs and Mathematics Learning

The Singapore Mathematics Framework anchors on Problem Solving, with 5 key domains - Concepts, Skills, Processes, Attitude and Meta-cognition.
  • Leveraging on the Interactivity and Collaborative features, blog lands itself pretty well in supporting the processes such as Reasoning, Communication and Connection.
  • With its platform that supports multimedia and integration of tools (eg. Presentation slides and Graphic Organisers), it helps to promote the pupils' level of motivation and interest in the learning of Mathematics and hence able to appreciate the subject better.
  • As blogs are primarily text-based and are commonly used for journaling, it is also a platform whereby pupils can share their reflection and invite inputs from others, hearing from different perspectives, too. Depending on their creativity, they could present their reflection in different forms of media, too.
  • With appropriate illustrations, blogs can help to elicit any misconceptions through short activities, hence allowing teachers to respond to potential learning difficulties in a more timely manner.
