The Wheel of Mathematics Learning Methods

Abstract

The article is devoted to the creation of a wheel of mathematics learning methods. The study analyzed how Bloom's taxonomy is used by the educational community. Special attention is paid to the study of the issue of bringing to a single system a set of disparate goals and tasks of learning in new models of education, which provide for the openness of learning to new technologies. Analysis of scientific works and resources helped to determine the structuring of the Wheel of Mathematics Learning Methods (WMLM). The authors of the article identified the areas of didactics that should fill the wheel: Competencies, Motivation, Bloom's Taxonomy, Activities, and Technologies. A structured set of hints for the teacher is presented in the form of 5 sectors of the wheel: Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create, Remember Understand. Each sector is a set of constituent components Methods, Forms, Tools, Activities and Active Verbs. The analysis of the results of the survey of 58 respondents proved that Bloom's taxonomy is important both in the selection of teaching methods and means and in the determination of effective forms of organization of educational activities. It was concluded that the idea of developing a methodology wheel should be based on the structuring of a set of tips for the teacher at all stages of activity from planning to implementation of mathematics education.
