More Information
Summary:Yang (2006) also showed that adopting a constructivist approach for number sense teaching helped Taiwanese students develop better understanding for number sense. [...]the teaching practices in this study not only highlight small-group and whole-class discussion, but also encourage students to question, debate, and provide arguments to support their solutions during remedial instruction. [...]this result highlights the critical role of the teacher as a facilitator in the NS-based remedial instruction class, posing challenging questions, eliciting each student's thinking processes, listening carefully to students' ideas, and asking students to clarify and justify their ideas (NCTM, 2000; Yang, 2006).
