Mathematics teacher in Akwa Ibom proffers unorthodox solution to teaching subject


To bolster students’ interest in the study of mathematics, a mathematics teacher at Pegasus High School, Eket, Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Essien Bassey, wants her colleagues to “preach the subject like church sermon.”
Bassey who accompanied her student to the venue of the on-going 2016 Cowbellpedia Mathematics Television Quiz Show in Lagos, challenged mathematics teachers to adopt the methodology, which she said has helped a great deal, in the interest of their students.
According to her, mathematics is a subject that requires a lot of emotions on both the teachers and learners, and therefore should be preached like a church sermon. Highlighting the imperativeness of the subject to studying highly professional courses, she maintained that mathematics should be taught with a lot of conviction, to achieve short and long term goals.
