Teaching Mathematics is different nowadays compared to those days when I was still in school. Back then my teacher just used simple objects, drawings and sometime just chalk & talk. But they cannot be blame also because that time resources and teaching aids are limited. Nowadays we can get resources from the internet and share with other teachers on how to teach certain Mathematics topic.

For me I used different strategies in teaching Mathematics so that my pupils will enjoy the lesson and pay more attention in the lesson. From what I had experienced pupils will easily get bored when we use the usual method in every lesson. To make my Mathematics lesson more interesting I also used some games with the class. I got some of the games from the internet and I used the games as the extra activities for the pupils when they finished their classwork. I also made use of the IWB available in school to teach Mathematics lesson because kids love interactive and they can also participated in the lesson actively.

Some other time we can also acts in the class so that they can understand the lesson better. For example before teaching them Money, ask them to acts as a shopkeeper and a buyer then relate what they have done with the lesson they are going to learn.

But usually pupils will enjoy more if the teachers teach them by using the technology because it is new experience for them and they will interact with their friends.
