This paper presents some examples in teaching integral parts where teachers can improve the abilities of mathematic recognitions and algorithmic thinking skills to students by providing procedures or algorithms of each problem to students and require them to do follow up activities. | JOURNAL OF SCIENCE OF HNUE Educational Sci. 2011 Vol. 56 No. 4 pp. 38-42 IMPROVEMENT OF THINKING SKILLS AND ABILITIES OF RECOGNITION FOR STUDENTS BY USING ALGORITHM IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS AT SCHOOLS Nguyen Thi Tinh Hanoi National University of Education E-mail tinhnt@ Abstract. Algorithmic thinking are very important for students studying Mathematics. It is believed that if teachers apply algorithms in teaching Mathematics and require students to work more on pencil-and-paper compu- tations students will have more opportunities to build their thinking skills the abilities of Mathematic recognitions and computational skills. This pa- per presents some examples in teaching integral parts where teachers can improve the abilities of mathematic recognitions and algorithmic thinking skills to students by providing procedures or algorithms of each problem to students and require them to do follow up activities. 1. Introduction An algorithm of a mathematic problem is a step-by-step procedure designed to obtain the results of the problem in a finite period of time. Sometimes an algorithm has some steps that can be repeated in a number of times. It is believed that if teach- ers apply algorithms in teaching Mathematics and require students to work more on pencil-and-paper computations students will have more opportunities to build their thinking skills the abilities of Mathematic recognitions and computational skills. This paper presents some examples in teaching integral parts where teachers can improve the abilities of mathematic recognitions and algorithmic thinking skills to students by providing procedures or algorithms of each problem to students and require them to do follow up activities. 2. Content In the past experienced teachers when teaching Mathematics at schools put more focus on improving the ability of recognition of students in finding out the way to solve the problem faced and applying algorithmic thinking to work out the steps leading the .
