THE IMPACT OF USING ANIMATIONS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS AT PRIMARY LEVEL

Abstract

This study will focus on the impact of using animations as a tool to improve mathematical pedagogy at Primary Level. The purpose of the study is to investigate: (a) the differences in student’s conceptual understanding vs procedural understanding of mathematical concepts b) post-test achievement between students who were exposed to mathematical animations and formative feedback embedded in videos (c) observation of teachers in the increase in students understanding when provided with mathematics animations and formative feedback. Mixed method design will be used and data will be collected using pre post test results, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The research findings will propose the implications for improving conceptual understanding by the use of animations and formative embedded cues.
