Our Teaching Philosophy
Experience First, Formalize Later
Every lesson begins with students working collaboratively in small groups through a sequence of carefully crafted questions that slowly build in complexity (Experience First). Following this activity, the teacher facilitates a discussion connecting students’ ideas with academic vocabulary and notation (Formalize Later). This approach encourages students to build strong math identities and take an active part in mathematical sense-making.
Mafunzo ya kwanza, rasmi baadaye: Kila somo huanza na wanafunzi kufanya kazi kwa kushirikiana katika vikundi vidogo kupitia mfululizo wa maswali yaliyoundwa kwa uangalifu ambayo polepole hujenga utata. Kufuatia shughuli hii, mwalimu kuwezesha majadiliano kuunganisha mawazo ya wanafunzi na msamiati wa kitaaluma na notation (Formalize Baadaye). Njia hii inahimiza wanafunzi kujenga utambulisho imara wa hisabati na kuchukua sehemu ya kazi katika kufanya maana ya hisabati.
