Dear experts in teaching of mathematics, What are the effective teaching methods for students to like this subject and record high scores?
see the book THE ART OF CHANGIN- G THE BRAIN, by Dr. James Zull- he is
prof. of Biology at Case Western Reserve University- also chaired a committee
of faculty in hard sciences meeting regularly to share experiences with applying
principles of neuroplasticity in teaching of students- the book offers excellent
resources covering years of neuroscience research relevant to all areas of
education. Another resource that provides practical guidance from neuroscience
for teaching pre-college students in brain friendly ways is Dr.
Eric Jensen - he is on he web and offers workshops for teachers and other
school personnel- have not attended his programs, but looks like content
relevant to your interests
It's great that you want your students to 'like' mathematics, as I believe that without that level of engagement it's difficult to develop their mathematical proficiency. Have a look at the book available freely online "Adding it up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics". Edited by Jeremy Kilpatrick, Jane Swafford, and Bradford Findell. -National Academy Press. (2001) They outline a powerful model of mathematical proficiency that has 5 strands that provide the framework to evaluate any possible approach to teaching mathematics.
Another place to look for effective methods of teaching mathematics is the work of Jo Boaler (Stanford University) freely available on the youcubed.org site.
