The Impact of the Use of Active Learning Strategies in the Development of Mathematical Thinking among Students and the Trend Towards Mathematics

Abstract

The lecture format is the most commonly used approach in teaching mathematics theoretically, and this approach reveals isolation between students. This paper tries to review the problems and challenges of the traditional teaching methods used in mathematics learning, and it advocates the possibility of the implementation of particular alternative teaching methods such as active learning and cooperative learning. The proposed approach emphasizes the participation of students to extend their views and to be interactive more.

Keywords: mathematics learning, active learning, teaching methods.
