Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.


We cannot understand the world that surrounds us without good mathematical skills.

The main purpose of this module is to ensure that we know and appreciate this science as a tool necessary for daily life, and for the transformation of society.

In essence, to study mathematics is to learn to reason and become accustomed to being conscious of this reasoning.

A good mathematical background is essential for adapting to life in today’s world. The concepts of number, ratio and proportion, and the language and symbols of mathematics, are part of the standard intellectual knowledge of any modern man or woman.

This 2020-21 course, of the three weekly sessions that we have of E i A de les Mates 3 during the first semester, two will be face-to-face and one "online".

This course 2020-21 the students prepare a didactic unit to demonstrate the mathematical competence acquired, they will have two sessions to present the UD. The first will be in person and the second remotely, an activity will be mandatory ICT.

The second session will be "on line". The students will have to prepare the material to teach the class remotely. At the end of the second session, the students will prepare some activity to review the topic they have taught, it could be a Kahoo or similar.

Teaching and learning activities

In blended



Of the three sessions that we have weekly, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the first two will be face-to-face and the third  synchronous.

The first two, Monday and Tuesday, we will do group dynamics in the classroom to achieve competencies marked in the degree and acquire content. The third session, Wednesday we will do a synchronous session exposing content more theoretical and reflecting with debates of the exposed contents as well as the resolution of problems that students will present.

Another activity that we will carry out will be that we will divide the class into groups and each group will have two sessions to present and work with the rest of the classmates a didactic unit on a specific subject of mathematics 6th. from elementary school.

 

The didactic unit will be necessary to contemplate the competences that you want to work on as well as the objectives and the contents of procedures, concepts and values. The students will have two sessions to carry out the didactic unit. A first face-to-face and the second  remotely, an activity will be mandatory ICT. The largest number of teaching resources worked on in E and A of plants 1 and E and A of plants 2 will apply: - Recreational mates - History of mathematicians, stories - Mates and local festivals - Bits - Strategies to improve attention and participation. - Motivation strategies - Teaching models - Material games   - Interactive games - ICT - Yotoobe Videos - P.Points - Creativity To present the subject it will be necessary to bear in mind. - Presentation time - Form of presentation (Visual, Auditory and kinesthetic) - Eye contact with the audience - Content - Explanations - Understanding of the topic - Synthesis of ideas - Material prepared to give the remote session. Once the topic has been presented, a collection of 10 original problems will have to be elaborated to work on the classroom and check that the topic has been understood. Of this must, 5 problems must be of ESO level. You must have clear evidence that the content and competencies have been achieved. Five of these problems they will have to be related to sustainability. UICESTALVI family. The second session will be "online" so that there will be a non-face-to-face but synchronous presentation. There will be prepare the material to teach the class at a distance. At the end of the second session, the students prepare some review activity of the subject they have taught, it could be a Kaho or similar.   On Monday, after doing the internship with alternation, we will dedicate it to reflecting on what and how mathematics is taught in the different centers where students practice. The new way of evaluating must be taken into account: NA I can't AS Successful achievement AS Remarkable achievement AE Excellent achievement
