Creating Engagement Opportunity for Math Learning

Abstract

Mathematics has traditionally been regarded as an important topic for the fundamental development of skills since it necessitates language and thinking. With these required skills, students with less mathematics experience rely largely on learning opportunities. Providing mathematics learning opportunities for children may encourage them to study. Students are more likely to participate in learning when teachers provide additional support. Previous research has concentrated on both effective teaching and learning as well as student challenges. Despite this, the current challenging circumstances have resulted in fewer options for students to explore. As a result, this research aims to determine how teachers and parents in a rural mathematics community in Malaysia create opportunities for students to participate in mathematics education. Teachers, parents, and students make up the community. A case study was used to obtain qualitative data via interview. This study included four teachers and two parents. Purposive sampling was used to select the samples, with participants agreeing to be involved. The findings revealed that the teachers and parents were equally concerned about their children’s education and focused on mentoring them. To help their children, the parents relied on technology. This study provides input on strategies used to engage students in mathematics education.
