What is the purpose of learning
these standards in the
intermediate levels?
Learning mathematics is more than
getting good grades.
It must be applied
beyond the walls of the
classroom.
The main goal of

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the learner
should be able to:
Constructivist
Theory
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the learner should be
able to:
Constructing
Conceptualized knowledge from
by Jean Piaget experiences
rather than from
discussions
Constructivist learning is described
as follows:
Learning builds on the learner’s prior knowledge and the approach is a
constructive process.
Learner involves in the processes to ensure self-regulated and self
directed process.
Learning is grounded in the context of the learners and fundamentally
social process. Interaction and communication are open and basic
elements of learning process.
Learning is more than the acquisition of knowledge. It is collaborative,
involves interaction and enculturation with community of practitioners.
Collaboration with experts is basic.
The learning processes do not only require cognitive but also
motivational and emotional domains.
In a constructivist mathematics class,
knowledge is constructed by the learners.
