 Rote Learning
-Is a memorization technique
based on repetition.

Meaningful Learning
-Is that learned information is
completely understood and
can now be used to make
connections with other
previously known knowledge,
aiding in further understanding
 1. Pupils need to perceive
learning activities that are
meaningful
It is recommended that teachers
select important concepts and
generalizations to teach that are
taught in a manner whereby pupils
attach meaning and understanding.

the diversity of your students’
backgrounds and needs.

3. Pupils need to
experience a variety of
learning opportunities
in the mathematics
curriculum.
 What kind of learning
opportunity will guide you(as a
learner) to achieve optimally as
possible?
a.THE BASAL TEXTBOOK-
concrete and semi- concrete
materials should be used s
readiness experiences as
well as during the time that
students are engaged in
using the basal.
b. Videotapes and Audio-Visual
Aids

The pace of the presentation is good in that

learners listening and observing may obtain
the necessary information in an unhurried
way in order to be able to measure to
ascertain topics to be discussed.
 c. Drawings-
may be made to
illustrate concepts and
generalizations to
pupils.
 d. Software and
Technology
may be used wisely in teaching
mathematics. Drill and practice
experiences provide opportunities
for pupils to reflect upon what has
not been mastered previously.
The point is that the learners
need to experience a variety
of learning activities so that
the interest and meaning is
involved while boredom is
kept to a very minimum.
4. Learners need to
experience
individual and
collaborative
endeavors.
WHY?
• Learners should become caring individuals
who are there to provide needed
assistance.
• High academic achievement should be
possible in either individual or in group
situations.
• Esteem needs of individuals should be
met whereby learners are recognized for
their talents and activities.
• Multicultural education needs to
be stressed in collaborative
situations.
• There should be no discrimination
among individuals due to
differences possessed.
• Differences need to be prized, not
cause stumbling blocks.
5. Teachers need to
minimize lecture as
a method of
instruction.
The teacher needs to avoid
lengthy explanations whereby
learners lose interest in learning.

Students Should be actively

engaged in learning and not be
passive recipients of knowledge
