Different Teaching Approaches

According to Spikell (1993), students learn best when they are active rather than passive learners.  Hence, teachers must employ best practices for teaching mathematics in their classrooms by addressing different learning style. We should accept the truth that everyone is capable of learning, but may learn in different ways. The theory of multiple intelligences addresses the different learning styles which the lesson can be presented for visual/spatial, logical/mathematics, musical, body/kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal and verbal/linguistic. 

Use the computer, scientific or graphing calculators, internet and all technology! There are vast resources out there to help students learn math as well as conquer their math anxiety. Many teachers and professors around the world have developed web-sites dedicated to helping students succeed at all levels of math.

Young children enjoy jokes and cartoons. With all the tension and anxiety, math  humor is greatly needed. The cartoons may be used to introduce a concept or for class discussion whereas the jokes are typical case of real life problems. Apart from that, some games that are beneficial to learners and are enjoyed are cards playing, Life, Yahtzee, Battleship and Tangrams.
