Question

What are the 3 ingredients needed for infants (and children too) to learn according to NCTM? (p. 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Rich problem solving task

Productive discourse opportunities

Learning resources

Explanation:

-children achieve learning expectations by being actively involved physically and mentally. This tasks usually do not have prescribed ways of solving it but children are encouraged to use their own strategies.

-These are integrated opportunities for teachers and students to engage in productive discussions which is refered to in maths teaching today as "ways of representing, thinking, talking, agreeing and disagreeing " which implies having awareness of respect for the perspective, solution strategies and other people's ideas.

-teachers and children should have many learning resources to help them make sense of mathematics which they are actively teaching and learning.
