The Department of Mathematics at Al-Asriyya Schools seeks to train learners to possess the skills and qualities of the TAMAM student, because it has a great effect in raising the students’ motivation to learn. Therefore, the learners will be aware of the importance of knowledge and its connection to their life and thus increase their achievement and become creators of knowledge and able to achieve educational outcomes.
The department’s goal is linked to the school’s vision, which seeks to make the learner updated with modern developments, creative in problem solving, and able to think objectively to make decisions. For this, baseline data was collected about the importance of this need, the degree to which it is connected to the learning objectives and increasing students’ motivation to build knowledge, and its connection to solve oral mathematical problems.
After that, the members took a sample of students and gave them real-life problems that require constructing knowledge to reach a solution and a general weakness was discovered. Therefore, a comprehensive plan was made to make the learners recognize what they are learning to make meaning out of it and be able to transfer the mathematical knowledge to real-life situations. With this, the learners will be able to construct knowledge and conclusions and will be aware of how it was reached to become a seeker of knowledge who enjoys it and is able to identify the mathematical content related to a certain topic or life problem.
