Realistic Mathematics Education: Theory and Practice - Hardcover

The study of mathematics education at school level must be focused on increasing mathematics cognition among students and using these skills to solve real-life problems. Realistic mathematics education (RME) is a method of teaching mathematics which emphasizes on informal sense-making between students in a way to get a meaningful and imaginable context. It is based on a theory that considers mathematics as a human activity and it should be linked with reality. Some of the major elements of RME include the application of smart strategies, use of characteristic teaching materials, and learning through diagrams and models. This book presents the theory and practice of realistic mathematics education in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied methods and techniques that are used within RME. The book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
