The goal of this study is to gain knowledge and understanding of how a teacher can apply mathematics with assistance from practical mathematics. Students? point of view on mathematics within practical mathematic lessons will also be examined.
Four teachers from preschool to third grade in primary school were interviewed. 30 students from grades one to three were also surveyed. The study shows that teachers see a major benefit when practical mathematics is used in the theoretical teachings of mathematics. The teachers believe that the students learn better when they get opportunities to use all their senses. They get a clearer understanding when mathematics is integrated in their daily life and interest of mathematics is increased when they enjoy the process. This results in education being fun, interesting, varied, and applicable to real life and leads to communication between students.
Practical mathematics helps students find opportunities to use their mathematical knowledge. It allows them to solve mathematical problems in a practical manner instead of just calculating in textbooks and in turn clarifies the real-life application of mathematics. The examination shows that teachers are working towards improving students? understanding of mathematics and its opportunities through creativity and variation
