bravo bro. once in a while show them how lame and dumb their mentions are.
it's necessary

DexterousOne:
The person you quoted is right

And you are DEAD WRONG!
Most mathematics teachers suck in this $hithole country
I don't know much of elsewhere

Their empty headedness lack of pragmatism and outdated way of teaching and mentality has bred a generation of Nigerians that HATE mathematics and have no interest in it

If not for stumbling on some very good textbooks
And learning mathematics in my own unconventional way

I would have fallen in that bracket too.

Mathematics teachers need to step up and improve on their delivery
Period!

@Tobechi74
You are spot on jare

I know what you are trying to say
And where you coming from

keep saying that to yourself you need it.
when you prefer bbnaija, davido, wizkid Instagram and Twitter... there wouldn't be space left for anything to how much more for numbers. so you look for the nearest thing to blame for your misdeeds.

tobechi74:
Thanks for your constructive criticism, I said Many teachers not all teachers . Perhaps I would have use another word to avoid making it seem like I am generalizing. Apart from that, kindly read till the end.

a readable writeup isn't considered "dumb or trash."

hence I regretfully and humbly withdraw the pair
it's was harsh and unnecessary a criticism.. I do hope we remain friends?

Farki:
Very correct in your assessment, but it's pride that's stopping schools from giving practical applications to their math lessons. It's like they have prioritised making it as difficult as possible to make it a point of marketing rather than helping students understand.

there is nothing correct about that assessment. you just don't want to think deep. that's why you find yourself in agreement with him

Tear them or.
You are a product of a terrible teacher
Go to any school and ask the students to identify the subject they dislike most. Many of them will chorus “mathematics”. What makes student harbour a passionate hatred for this subject still remains a mystery for most educationist  .

. Many reasons have been proposed . One which seems to be overlooked is the fact that students do not feel connected to the subject in anyway  . Imagine spending hours finding ” x” when “x” is neither your brother or your sister only to search for “x the following day. It is not only routinal but boring. The student begins to wonder whether to use the same formula to find his biro.  This is because the teacher failed to explain to him the application of these formulas in real life situation.

Many mathematics teachers were top in their classes when they were students. When they are not learning in class, they are studying in the library. They spend little time socialising  and having fun     . They grow up to become an expert in mathematics but deficient in relating same to the student . They begin a topic by introducing an abstract theory and leave the student wondering how this theory concerns his life.

They do not deserve to be blamed.They only repeated what was handed over to them by their teacher  . Garbage in garbage out. They can choose to create a new tomorrow.

We can have outstanding mathematician but terrible teachers of mathematics. Great mathematics Teachers begin by stimulating the interest of the student. Students who are less than fourteen years of age are emotionally focused. They tend to feel more and rationalise less .

Simultaneous Equation. : Divide the children into groups of 4 .Ask tleaxh group to go to four different shops . Give each group #200 to buy pencil and biro  .total amount of both items  should be six. Compare each group answer. . Solve on the board. Which group got it right?

Speed : Take student outside  Measure any point A about 100m apart. Get each student to walk fast or run from point A to B and get another student to record time against the student. After each student must have done dat,take them back to the class and calculate the speed of three students. The remaining students should calculate their own  walking speed.

Volume of cylinder : Tell student to bring any empty milk ,or tomatoes container to class. Using ruler, they watch you measure the height and Diameter and repeat the same for their container. After that, you calculate the volume or area using formula method and watch them do the same  .

Average : each student is given a company name and asked to go to the library and get the prices of shares for nine consecutive days.They are to find the moving average of five

Area  The student measure the length and breadth of one class room tile  . Student count the number of tile in the class and find the product.

One way we make mathematics boring is that we do not involve the student in getting the data. We spoon feed them the data . In real life,they have to know how to get the data themselves.  Getting them to measure it themselves makes them engaged. One parent told me his child measures everything he can lay his hands on at home . After measurement, he would begin to calculate  . Things got out of hand when the television fell off. These method make class lovely, children interesting and active participant in the learning process, .Soon children will begin to love the subject

pathetic, lame and dumb.

I didn't bother to read all you wrote here stopped half way.
most mathematics teacher never socialized in school? they are teaching abstract garbage in garbage out. the whole world seems to be lost why students don't have interest in mathematics. but somehow Mr you have all the answers.
such an dumb generalization that doesn't take individuality into consideration. where in the world did you get all this trash.
I pity the faculty of those liking this trash you wrote.

as a mathematician. I tell you the reason for the lack of interest in mathematics and numbers is simple: just social madness ( how we easily grab the unnecessary things of life, entertainment and leisure has occupied the brains of people hence the consider anything brain cracking as boring.

ps: next time you say such trash do well to recognize that you are in a public domain.
bottom line your deficiency in mathematics and numeracy is caused by your 10000% social nature, and internal fear of the unknown. leave the messenger(teacher) and focus on the message(math)

heendrix:

I can tell you for sure there are mothers who lie to their children about the true character of their father just to gain the full love and loyalty of the children.
once there's friction btw both parents. some mother's use such to paint the father black before the kids. it happens and I have seen it happen. which contributes to the sweet mother.... we all sing, as if fathers are bitter
