Characteristics of effective teaching of mathematics

When referring to effective mathematics teaching, the terms good teaching and quality teaching are often used. There is no universal definition of what constitutes good or effective teaching of mathematics, and views on these concepts are largely dependent on the educational traditions and values in different countries, as well as on the beliefs of mathematics teachers. The notion of effective teaching is im- portant because it significantly influences educational policies and teaching design decisions. The aim of this paper is to problematize the issue of effective mathematics teaching, to determine the features of effective mathematics teaching and how teachers perceive effective mathematics teaching. The way a mathematics teacher teaches is an indication of what he or she considers to be most important. Teachers are critical determinants of students’ learning and educational progress, so they must be trained to deliver quality and effective lessons. Mathematics teaching is effective when it promotes students’ performance as best as possible. Nevertheless, cultural norms influence the way effective features are implemented.
