With this method, educators use a set of premade flash cards to teach elementary students the basics of mathematics. To accomplish this, the educator holds a card in the air containing a basic math problem. The educator then asks students to raise their hand prior to standing up to solve the problem aloud. The educator then shows the correct answer on the reverse of the card. Each seated student should solve at least one problem.
With this technique, a math teacher writes a basic math problem on a chalkboard. The teacher then asks for a volunteer to solve the problem. A student volunteers by raising their hand and speaking the answer aloud before the classroom. The teacher verifies the correct or incorrect answer then creates another math problem for an additional volunteer.
The math teacher separates a classroom into groups with similar numbers of students. The teacher assigns a basic math problem to each group. The teacher instructs the groups to solve the math problem by discussion. The teacher gives the groups a set time to solve each problem. The groups choose a representative to both speak the answer aloud and write the answer on the classroom chalkboard. The teacher verifies a correct or incorrect answer. The groups then rotate representatives while the teacher chooses a new problem for each.
Using this technique a math teacher requires one student to introduce himself before the start of each day's class. As a part of the introduction, the student must provide an answer to a math problem assigned at the beginning of the school year. The students may change problems or ask for additional problems, if needed.
Using teaching methods, elementary instructors line up students in a circular formation in a classroom setting. The students then are instructed to say aloud an entire multiplication, division or addition table in a sing-along fashion. This technique not only reinforces the learning related to the tables used in song, but encourages students to participate, communicate and cooperate with fellow students.
A student stands at the classroom chalkboard and is given a set of math problems to solve before a specific time elapses. The student can solicit input from fellow students in a game-show style to solve the problems in the shortest time possible. The called-upon students can say aloud the steps needed to solve the problems but not the final answer. The instructor indicates whether the answers are correct and the students rotate as standing problem solver.
