Finland Math Worksheets

[Roman Bayramdurdiyev]

Mathseedshas lesson content for broad range of topics and grade levels for primary school math. Each lesson teaches the topic from the beginning and then allows practicing through various interactive tasks. The platform has extensive tools for the teachers to follow their student's progress, as well as worksheets and plans for extra activities. For the student the platform also offers games and entertaining content for voluntary practicing of mathematics.

The supported learning goals are identified by matching the product with several relevant curricula descriptions on this subject area. The soft skills are definitions of learning goals most relevant for the 21st century. They are formed by taking a reference from different definitions of 21st century skills and Finnish curriculum.

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Experimental Education saw 4,317 students from 10 high-performing high schools in upper-middle-class California communities complete a survey on their experience of homework. These students completed an average of around 3.1 hours of homework each night, and while this additional workload was having a positive effect on academic performance, it was proving significantly detrimental outside of it.

According to the survey, 56 percent of students viewed homework as a primary source of stress, and many cited their homework load as leading to sleep deprivation and other health problems. Many of the students polled also admitted they had less time for friends, family and extracurricular activities as a result of their homework.

The message was clear: the negatives of spending large chunks of time on homework far outweighed the positives. But sometimes kids can end up stuck on a particular homework assignment for altogether more unusual reasons.

Ostensibly an Easter-themed math challenge, the girl had been tasked with coloring in a picture of a bunny and carrot using a sum-based key. Each section had to be filled in a certain color based on the simple sum within it. For example, any sum with the answer of 15 had to be colored in pink.

There was just one problem, though. One section, inside the bunny's ear, which should have been pink, contained a sum with an answer that most definitely wasn't 15. It was 20, meaning the section needed to be colored yellow despite the jarring effect on the picture.

"I first noticed it when going through the work she brings home from school daily," Kate told Newsweek. "I noticed the missed color right away, and I thought maybe she'd gotten the equation wrong until I looked closer at the equation and coordinated color in the key."

"I've since learned from the comments on Reddit that it's a technique to see which kids are actually doing the math, and which are just coloring where they know the colors go," she said. "That makes perfect sense to me now, but the perfectionist in me still finds the image annoying with the wrong ear color."

"I'm not really sure why a simple child's worksheet got so much attention," she said. "It did bring up a lot of discussion about the technique of checking who is paying attention and who isn't. It also seemed to hold some nostalgia from people who remember doing the same type of worksheets in school."

A first-grade child's English homework left both her parents and the internet completely baffled back in November. Another fifth grader's math homework, meanwhile, had people similarly stumped. Then there was the unsolvable math problem found stapled to a tree in Finland.

There's a lot of buzz about STEAM education, but what's it all about? STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics, and it has become increasingly buzz-worthy due to its relevance in today's world. The modern workforce demands professionals who are proficient not just in technological skill, but also in creative problem solving, collaboration, communication, design, and engineering[1].

Sometimes STEAM is narrowly regarded as a combination of science, technology, engineering, arts and math. However, rather than looking at STEAM from a subject perspective, we can see it as a holistic way to approach a phenomenon from different perspectives. In that sense, STEAM becomes more than its parts. When children learn STEAM, they combine many disciplines and practice transversal skills like creativity, inquiry, critical thinking, and problem solving.

Despite the high value these skills hold in modern society, many educators still employ traditional learning models, which are ineffective and frankly, unexciting, ways for children to learn STEAM. Think memorization, worksheets and textbook work.

HEI Schools and Kide Science, two Finnish-based early education companies, take a different approach to STEAM education. In their learning materials, they utilize methods like experimentation and hands-on projects, which let children engage directly with the material. These learning experiences foster transversal competencies early in a child's life, and children can then use such skills to learn and explore other content areas throughout their developmental years.

Another method that HEI Schools and Kide Science employ is hands-on learning. As many of us may know from experience, simply explaining a concept or fact to a child usually does not work. The child does not have a strong reaction to what we tell them or they are simply not interested. As very tactile and sensory-based creatures, children are most receptive to new information when they are involved fully with their body and as many of their five senses as possible[4]. The motto of early learning is "busy hands, busy brain," so introducing children to new concepts physically and sensorially guarantees that they will be responsive and connected to the material.

The HEI Schools and Kide Science approach to STEAM education is all about learning through doing. Applying new concepts and skills in a multi-step project is a much more effective way for young children to learn about problem solving, designing, and collaboration than by completing of a simple worksheet or test.[4]. By giving children a clear goal, we give them the intrinsic motivation to improve a specific skill or master a learning concept. A project typically has a fun result, so children are much more inspired to apply the skills needed to complete it than they would be if asked to take a test.

For example, a HEI Schools project called "Let's Build a Body" motivates children to learn about different body parts! They sit down with an outline of a human figure and a supply of photos depicting various body parts. As a group, they work to "reassemble" this person by identifying the body parts in each photograph and placing them on the human form. This task not only teaches children about the parts of the human body, but it also introduces them to teamwork, problem solving, and communication skills.

The primary learning tool is the Cotter Abacus, a specially designed two-sided abacus that is both kinesthetic and visual. The Cotter Abacus (AL Abacus) is grouped in fives and tens for quick recognition of quantities. The second side of the Cotter Abacus (AL Abacus) teaches place value to the thousands. Children develop visual strategies as they use this manipulative.

Practice is provided with math card games, minimizing review worksheets and eliminating stressful flash cards. These games provide interesting and varied repetition that is needed for the automatic responses to the facts. More importantly, these games provide an application for new information and create hours of fun learning math facts and concepts.
