Question

why is it necessary to connect subject matter with previous knowledge in mathematics teaching?​

Answer 1

Answer:

because to generalize the new topic with previous knowledge so that students can connect and learn more actively

Answer 2

It is necessary to connect subject matter with previous knowledge in mathematics learning because of interconnection between topics.

• Mathematical subject matter knowledge is the understanding of the discipline's body of concepts, procedures, and processes, as well as the methods used to derive findings and provide justification for these methods.
• Knowing definitions and their consequences as well as representations and justifications for problem-solving techniques are all part of the subject matter knowledge of mathematics that is included in mathematics knowledge for teaching.
• In mathematics the topic are interrelated within themselves, so one must need to have the learning of previous one to solve next one.
• For example, one must need to know what is triangle and what are the properties of triangle for further able to understand congruent triangles and similar triangles.
• Suppose, if someone dose not know to construct an angle using compass, he will not be able to construct a triangle using a compass.

Hence, knowledge of previous subject matter is necessary.
