Picture Tree: Why? Mathematics: Numbers and Operations 3

When studying mathematics, it has become crucial to move away from rote memorization and calculation-based learning and instead solve problems using a creative and flexible mindset. STEAM mathematics is precisely that. The five fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics influence each other and are not only closely related to our lives but also contribute to a richer quality of life. STEAM mathematics has begun to be actively utilized in educational settings because it guides students to think creatively and integratively, encompassing these diverse and distinct domains. To properly implement STEAM mathematics, the “Why? Math” series focused on the five domains of the elementary mathematics curriculum: Numbers and Operations, Geometry, Measurement, Probability and Statistics, and Patterns. Furthermore, it aimed to present mathematical concepts and principles through storytelling so that children could build foundational skills in all areas easily and enjoyably. This is because elementary mathematics is the stage where children take their first steps into the world of mathematics, making it essential to spark their interest and enthusiasm. Finally, children will be able to naturally learn why mathematical concepts are necessary and how they are used. Furthermore, it is expected that they will be able to cultivate creative and convergent thinking skills. Content Structure and Key Features 1. Basic Concept The elementary mathematics curriculum is incorporated into the overall story through the narrative of a primitive boy who dreams of becoming a civilized person as he learns mathematical concepts and principles.
