Research and Development of Mathematics-Grounding Activity Modules as a Part of Curriculum in Taiwan

Abstract

In order to develop meaningful mathematics activities for students to enjoy learning and to improve their learning, the mathematics-grounding activity (MGA) modules are developed as part of the JUST DO MATH project which has been funded by the Taiwanese Ministry of Education since 2014. The project consists of three phases: (1) research and development of the MGA modules; (2) cascading to include more teachers and designers; and (3) dissemination to students in Mathematics Camps. The evaluation of the project is still ongoing. Both student feedback and teacher feedback are collected during the MGA modules. At the current stage, data from both qualitative and quantitative results show significant positive influence.
