“Math Cookies for Everyone!” is a seminar-workshop on
Singapore Math. Teaching homeschool parents, teachers and non homeschooling
families on the fundamentals of non traditional math. According to Wiki,
Singapore math is a teaching method based on the
national mathematics curriculum used for kindergarten through sixth grade
in Singapore. The
term was originally coined in the U.S. to describe an approach, originally developed in
Singapore, to teaching students to learn and master fewer mathematical concepts
at greater detail as well as having them learn these concepts using a
three-step learning process.The three steps are: concrete, pictorial, and
abstract. In the concrete step, students engage in hands-on learning
experiences using concrete objects such as chips, dice, or paper clips.This is
followed by drawing pictorial representations of mathematical concepts.
Students then solve mathematical problems in an abstract way by using numbers
and symbols.
The workshop will teach the
fundamentals including introduction to Singapore Math: its success in the
global arena, the CPA method, the bar model and an exploration activity to be
able to experience first-hand on how an assigned topic may be discussed to the
children.
This workshop will be facilitated by
none other than Mrs. Ivy Liezl
Henson-Vinluan , a Cum Laude Graduate from Philippine Normal
University Manila who took a double-degree course in Bachelor of Science in
Mathematics and Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics. She is
about to finish her Masters of Arts in Mathematics Education in the University
of the Philippines Diliman. This math enthusiast, who is
usually called by her students as a cool and cheerful teacher, has been
teaching math for more than a decade already. She had undergone various local and international trainings in the
field of teaching mathematics. She had facilitated a couple of
seminar-workshops on this topic as well. She humbly wishes to share with the
seminar-workshop participants her personal belief and experiences why and how
Singapore Math should be given consideration and applied in the classroom. For
her, her greatest achievement as a teacher is when she hears her students say
“I love math!”
