A Study on the Teaching Methods of Equations - The Focus on the Middle School Curriculum-

One of the most important goals in mathematics education is to encourage the students to be interested in mathematics through learning by experience as well as the recognition that mathematics is required in everyday life. It is more than improving mathematical thinking skills and problem solving. But in most mathematics classes, instruction with teacher-centered teaching methods are prevalent and students gradually lose interest in mathematics. This study is directed at developing teaching and learning materials for improving achievements of students who lack motivation. For this purpose I focused on the following studies: First, I analyzed teaching methods and learning materials of equation in the middle school textbook. Second, I developed teaching and learning materials of equation in the middle school curriculum. This study shows the development of teaching and learning materials about equations as one of the methods that can improve students motivation towards mathematics as an interesting subject. Teachers should develop comprehensible materials and interesting approaches appropriate to students levels and also actively utilize them in mathematics classes. Furthermore teachers should continue to study to improve learning achievements or effects on whether applying those materials in the classes can cause students to take an interest in it and easily approach to contents.
