Islamic Integration in Mathematics Classrooms

 Islamic Integration in Mathematics Classrooms

Islamic integration in mathematics classrooms refers to the incorporation of Islamic perspectives, values, and concepts into the teaching and learning of mathematics. Here are some ways that Islamic integration can be done in mathematics classrooms:

 

Use of Islamic Examples: Teachers can use Islamic examples to explain mathematical concepts. For instance, teachers can use Islamic geometrical patterns to teach students about symmetry and tessellation.

 

Application of Mathematical Concepts in Islamic Context: Teachers can use mathematical concepts to explain Islamic concepts. For example, teachers can use mathematical concepts such as probability and statistics to explain the concept of Tawakkul (reliance on Allah).

 

Integration of Islamic Values: Teachers can integrate Islamic values such as fairness, honesty, and justice into the teaching and learning of mathematics. For example, teachers can emphasize the importance of honesty in mathematical problem-solving.

 

Use of Islamic History: Teachers can use Islamic history to demonstrate the importance of mathematics in Islamic civilization. For instance, teachers can highlight the contributions of Muslim mathematicians such as Al-Khwarizmi and Ibn al-Haytham.

 

Use of Islamic Calendars: Teachers can use Islamic calendars to teach students about time and date. For instance, teachers can use the Hijri calendar to teach students about the concept of lunar months and the Islamic holidays.

 

Overall, the integration of Islamic perspectives, values, and concepts in mathematics classrooms can help students connect mathematics to their Islamic faith, improve their understanding of mathematical concepts, and enhance their appreciation of Islamic history and culture.

How People Learn ?

  How people learn? By: Ms Kashfia Latafat I believe that people learn most by their own experiences and by reflecting on them. Reflection helps in improving the learners understanding. According to Jean Piaget (1896-1980) learning is a developmental cognitive process. Learners create knowledge rather than receive knowledge from the teacher. Piaget recognized that learners construct knowledge based on their experiences and how do they so is related to their biological, physical and mental stage of development.   The Russian scientist Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) extended Piaget’s developmental theory of constructivism. He emphasized the role that culture and language play in developing learners’ thinking and the ways in which teachers and peers assist learners in developing new ideas and skills. Vygotsky proposed the concept of the Zone of proximal development (ZPD), it is the level where learning takes place but learner reach that point by the guidance of teacher or in collab...
