Many students struggle with math, with up to 50% not achieving success in Grades 3, 6, and 9, as indicated by recent EQAO results. Traditional direct instruction is often ineffective. To address this issue, educators should explore innovative solutions that foster real-world connections and motivation. Encouraging active learning methods such as manipulatives, technology, and cooperative learning can enhance engagement. Involving students in the learning process and addressing individual differences are crucial approaches to improve outcomes and develop a positive attitude toward mathematics.

Current State of Affairs • Many students, regardless of grade level, do not like math • According to the EQAO results, 50% of our students are not successful (Grades 3, 6, and 9) • Most students do not respond well to direct instruction, yet it is the main strategy used by most high school math teachers
Solutions • Ignore the problem and do what works for you • Actively explore, try, and reflect on new solutions • Create real world connections & motivation • Encourage active learning (manipulatives, technology, cooperative learning) • Involve students as much as possible • Address individual differences
