Popis: | 106 This study is an action research on using mathematics grounding activities in teaching junior high school mathematics. The purposes of this study are to investigate the course design principles and implementation process for the mathematics grounding activities, and to investigate students’ motivation and learning outcome in math. This research was carried out with 46 seventh grade students for seven weeks. The students were engaged in the "Geometric Splint Experiment" activity for the "square root and Bishops theorem" unit and the "rectangular puzzle" activity for the "factor decomposition" unit. The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows: 1.In selecting mathematics ground activities during curriculum planning, instructors need to consider whether the activites can achieve the learning objectives for each unit. 2.Students can be introduced to the mathematical grounding activities beforee class. The instructor can provide extra activites for high-achieving students. 3.Mathematics grounding activites has increased estudents learning motivation and learning outcome. Students were positive about the activies. |
