Michelle Wolf, founder of Mathland, describes how this technique can help students not only improve their academic performance, but also how to apply this subject in their daily lives.
There Education Quality Agency delivered the results of Simce 2022 in June, which was applied in November last year, where a significant drop in averages of the test of mathematics .
In these, fourth year decreased by 10 points with an average of 250 points. However, this was not all, since the proportion of thpupils in insufficient level have increased until reaching a Four five% compared to the 37% that had been obtained during the last edition.
On the other hand, in the case of students of Second part these lost 12 points by getting an average of 252 points in Simce 2022.
In addition, like in fourth grade, sophomores nationwide increased their percentage of students with an insufficient level of learning when getting 54% a figure up from that obtained during the previous edition when 46% had been achieved in this category.
In response to the above, a new teaching methodology created by Mathland nail to start up Chilean, which aims to enable students to integrate mathematics to their lives while studying in a way fun and creative.
What is the Chilean method to strengthen mathematics?
michelle wolf founder of Mathland, emphasizes The third that this academy offers a methodology for teaching mathematics that It is not only based on learning concepts but also in the way in which these curricular contents are conveyed”in the context of real life, such as laboratories, bookshops, banks and restaurants”.
He explains that to achieve this, an approach is used in the problem-based learning which allows students to become actively involved in their study process thanks to “the math problem solving that are presented in a narrative, thus promoting development of critical and analytical thinking.
In this way, Mathland has different proposals that are adapted according to the levels of study of from first to seventh grade. In these, teachers become guides and main students . They even point out that with this method, the model is applied STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Spanish).
“This the philosophy is reflected in the content of the courses where situations and subjects that cross the different domains are incorporated,” says Wolf, because “in our daily routine, we are constantly confronted with situations that require knowledge in various disciplines. This unified perspective allows us to consider all knowledge as a coherent whole instead of fragmenting it into isolated domains.
How to access this method?
If there is a desire to learn and access to this form of learning, people must enter the mathland page and select one of two plan options available.
through the basic plan , users can access the platform at any time. In addition, “students will find curricular content explained in real-life contexts, as well as in activities and games,” explains Wolf, adding that “the second option is the premium packages which include the site, and workout class once a week ”.
However, the educational institutions They can also access this method, since the founder of Mathland indicates that they are offered the possibility of contracting their plans and consulting services, which “include access to the platform and holding workshops with specific materials, in addition to training for teaching staff ”.
Thus, Wolf emphasizes that “Mathland enables students to immediately apply mathematical concepts to the real world since we integrate modules of Classes online live with a platform of activities and games”.
THE prices to access this method will vary depending on the plan and the months the person wants to buy. As indicated in the page of the to start up Chilean values range from $50,000 up to $219,990.
Why should students apply this method of learning?
According to Wolf, the problem resolution This is one of the aspects that students find the most difficult, but through this method, students get a “link between academic content and its practical application “, so that minors can be significantly motivated.
For this reason, the founder of Mathland points out that with this approach, not only is student understanding promoted, “but it is also gives you the confidence to take on mathematical challenges.
Thus, Wolf concludes that “our objective is not limited to improving test results but to provide students with strong skills s and sustainable solutions that will allow them to face the challenges of the present and future world more effectively”.
