Introduction
PSM is a new approach to teach Math and learn Math. The proposed
model is not very sophisticated. It does not require overwhelming fancy software or
taking a long training program, it is not a new curriculum with changes in the
material you currently used to teach in your classes. In fact the process is very
simple, but requires viewing the purpose of learning math in different light. It is not
about WHAT we teach, but HOW to teach math.
The course objective is to understand the problem associated with the
traditional approach to improve math education, discuss the basic thinking skills
needed to solve math problems, learn Problem Solving Maps to enhance student
thinking skills, understand the strategies to incorporate PSM in the classroom and
explore alternative application of Problem Solving Maps.
In this portfolio, you can find examples of Example-Conclusion Graph,
multi-rule Branch and Math Breaker. Samples of my pupils output are also included
here. I hope that this compilation about PSM helps us to solve problems in math
and any problems that comes in our life .
Acknowledgement
I am proud and honored to be part of the sixty scholars of this Online
Training Workshop (Problem Solving Maps). I would like to express my special
thanks and gratitude to Madam Jenilyn Rose Corpuz, Madam Victoria Tafalla,
Madam Norlita Santos, Madam Marichu R. Escalona, for recommending me in this
wonderful training and most of all to our online professor/speaker, Danilo Sirias,
Ph. D. from Michigan (Author of Problem Solving Maps Workbook). I gained a lot
of knowledge , especially in the methods and new techniques on how to teach
math in fun and easy way. Whatever knowledge I gained in this training, will surely
be imparted to my pupils and to my colleagues. This achievement will paved the
way to my ultimate goal in life which is to be part of my pupils success. I believed
that this new knowledge I gained will be cascaded to my pupils and in the end will
help them to be successful especially in learning Mathematics. So help me God.
Math Rules
Math rules are the foundation to solve more
complicated problems.
A math rule can be summarized in one
sentence.
Rules can be expressed as a generic formula
8% of 300
.08 x 300 = 24
P = 24
25% of 140
85% of 360
.85 x 360 = 306
P= 306
.25 x 140 = 35
P= 35

A salesman has a basic salary of 3 000 a month and a 6% commission on all sales
beyond 50 000. How much did he earn in a month when his total sales
amounted to 236 350?
