The use of an advance organiser to improve mathematical learning - motivation for all teachers

Abstract

Following the constructivist perspective on mathematical learning, this paper wants to show the didactical advantage of using a correct advance organiser to present certain topics in mathematics. By using a correct frame to hang the learner’s knowledge on, the learner constructs his/her own knowledge from the activity that is given. Knowledge is then being constructed as a result of the learner’s activity.
