METHODOLOGY FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS BY TEACHING TERMS IN ENGLISH ON THE BASIS OF AN INFORMATION-CATEGORICAL APPROACH TO ELEMENTARY GRADES

Abstract

Teaching mathematics effectively to elementary grade students requires a well-designed methodology that considers the diverse needs of learners. This article proposes a methodology for teaching mathematics by incorporating English language instruction within a framework known as the Information-Categorical Approach. This approach emphasizes the explicit teaching of mathematical terms in English, enabling students to develop a strong mathematical and linguistic foundation concurrently. The methodology aims to enhance students' comprehension of mathematical concepts, foster language acquisition, and promote critical thinking skills. By combining mathematics and language instruction, this approach provides a comprehensive framework for teaching mathematics in elementary grades.
