The Math Joint - TMJ

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic executing a perfect bicycle kick to score a goal at a decisive moment".

How did this magical moment of jaw-dropping mastery come about?

- Hours and hours of unending practice
- Application of the knowledge gained from practice in match situations.

Practice enables you to instinctively apply your theoretical knowledge at just the right moment, in just the right way.

Yes, it is the same with Math. Browsing through an already solved problem is like watching a Messi video on YouTube. It all looks very easy. But without practice, is it?

Imagine we are given a problem which requires the application of three math concepts - ratios, geometry, and square roots. If we are not practised, we won't know whether to dribble, execute a bicycle kick, or a curling long pass. But if we have practised all these concepts, our 'situational awareness' will allow us to break the problem down into its constituent parts, apply what we have practiced, and score the goal - and the crowd goes crazy!

This is the perfect moment that we dream of - and the satisfaction of solving a 'difficult' math problem really is second to none.

Avoid the elevator, take the stairs –

As much as it is a piece of physical fitness advice, it is also a million-dollar advice for Math students. Real-world problems are rarely – if ever – solved quickly. They require a variety of skills including interpreting information, planning and methodical implementation, checking results, and trying alternative strategies (Muir, Beswick, & Williamson, 2008). The same goes for mathematical problems. Rather than looking for fast shortcut techniques of problem-solving, it is wiser to go slow, understand all aspects of the problem, apply one’s mind and apply learned knowledge in a methodical way, trying alternative strategies if needed.
While trying to solve a mathematical problem, we tend to get impatient wanting to ‘take the elevator’ rather than ‘climb the stairs’. Climbing the stairs takes more time, but slowing down and taking enough time is the right way to go about it if one has to master the concepts and get better at mathematical problem-solving.

The Math Joint - Where Math is Everyone's Cup of Tea☕️☕️☕️

At the core of TMJ methodology is “Student Engagement”. We use "sequential questioning" while teaching and as a result students get spontaneously engaged in the learning process, making discoveries and acquiring critical thinking skills.
