Abstract: Metacognition is defined as a person’s ability to control their own cognitive processes, including knowledge of cognitive processes and the orientating, monitoring, revising, and evaluating of cognitive activities involved as needed. The paper proposes a model of organizing activities for training metacognitive skills for primary education students in Mathematics teaching methodology courses.
Keywords: Metacognition, students, primary education, mathematics teaching.

05. The use of games in teaching Mathematics at high schools

12:18 29/03/2020

Abstract: This paper aims at discussing the theoretical basis as well as the pedagogical potential of using games in teaching mathematics at high schools. A study on the literature, namely international publications pertaining to this topic, enables us to confirm the role of Mathematical Games and Games for Teaching Mathematics - hereinafter referred to as Educational Games for Teaching Mathematics (EGTMs). We have also collected, tested and annotated 26 games in order to initiate a supporting library of EGTMs for interested colleagues.
Keywords: Mathematical learning, mathematical game, educational game, mathematics teaching.

7. TEACHING MATHEMATICS IN ENGLISH TO VIETNAMESE 6th GRADE STUDENTS BY USING CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING (CLIL) APPROACH

14:34 09/05/2019

Abstract: CLIL refers to teaching subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, etc. through a foreign language. In this paper, we try to answer the following questions: 1) Can we teach 6th grade Mathematics through English? 2) - How often can we teach 6th grade Mathematics through English? 3) How can we teach 6th grade Mathematics in English effectively? To answer these questions, firstly, we study current 6th grade Mathematics curriculum and English curriculum in Vietnam to find the knowledge and skills that Vietnamese 6th grade students have already acquired and what they have to learn more in 6th grade. After that, we choose some 6th grade Mathematics contents and English contents which can be taught together. Finally, we propose the ways to use CLIL approach to teach those contents effectively.
Keywords: 6th grade Mathematics, 6th grade English, CLIL, Curriculum, Mathematics teaching.

10. THE APPLICATION OF CONSTRUCTIVISM IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING AT HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IN VIET NAM

16:18 05/11/2018

Abstract: Constructivism, an educational theory describing the process of knowledge construction, has been applIed in mathematics education in many countries. This article proposes some suggestions for applying constructivism theory in mathemactics teaching. Subsequently, the author presents some mathematics teaching and learning situations in which students are supported to construct the concepts of the sequence with the limit zero and continuous function at a point (Analytics grade 11). In these situations, students have a chance to self-study, cooperate in group to construct new concepts.
Keywords: construct, mathematics teaching, learning situation, continuous function, sequence with the limit zero
