    Promoting Mathematical Reasoning through Reason-Based Learning: What, Why and How?

    RATIONALE

    Nurturing thoughtful minds among students is an up most important goal in education put forward
    to teachers in this challenging era. In the learning of mathematics, reasoning is seen as a
    powerful way to develop insights about patterns and structures in both real-world and
    mathematical situations (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2000). These insights will
    help students to see that mathematics make sense and is not just a school subject to be learned
    for examination. Despite the importance of reasoning, many school students at the primary and
    secondary levels are learning mathematics with a take-for-granted mindset. The mathematics
    taught to them is accepted without any doubt simply because the teacher is considered as an
    authority in the subject who is always right. No mathematical argument is seen important in their
    acquisition of mathematical knowledge. In contrast with take-for-granted mindset, students with
    a reason-based mindset will always seek for a reason for any mathematical pattern and structure
    presented to them. Thus, this virtual colloquium will discuss how reason-based learning in
    mathematics can promote the development of mathematical reasoning among primary and
    secondary students.

    ABOUT THE VIRTUAL COLLOQUIUM

    This virtual colloquium consists of two online sharing sessions. The first session focuses on
    (a) comparison between reason-based learning and take-for-granted learning in mathematics,
    and (b) importance of reason-based-learning in mathematics. The second session focuses on
    how mathematics teachers can promote mathematical reasoning ability among their students.
    Several exemplar learning tasks for reason-based learning in primary and secondary
    mathematics will be shared.

    OBJECTIVES

     Compare take-for-granted learning and reason-based learning in mathematics


     Argue for the importance of reason-based learning in mathematics
     Critique and evaluate exemplar tasks for reason-based learning in mathematics
