| Traditionally speaking, math homework takes an important part in math teaching as it may help the students to consolidate what they've learnt, develop their thinking, and to cultivate their learning skills as well. However, the layout of math homework is not satisfactory, and the students cannot take it seriously. First, most of the math homework was confined in the classroom. As a form of knowledge consolidation and feedback, instead of running through the entire process of learning activities, it is done after learning activities; Second, it has been arranged for the sake of "unification" when it has the same content, the same degree of difficulty; In addition, bearing the examination-oriented education in head, some teachers randomly add more difficult homework, so that most of the students struggle to finish it negatively. Homework turns out to be a heavy workload to them all. Many students even take it as a heavy burden and learning efficiency declines rapidly.In the paper, the author combines the innovative math homework with cultivating the interest in learning math. In this way, students will DO the homework instead of being asked to do it. Furthermore, they'll learn mathematics with enthusiasm and initiative.The creative math homework aims to foster the students'interest in learning math and to stimulate their enthusiasm as well. And the researchable exploratory questions as well as open-ended questions are to be designed according to different individuals. Creative math homework includes both curricular and extra-curricular homework. Curricular homework mainly aims to consolidate the learnt knowledge, train the students'learning skills. It is completed timely in class and the feedback can be reached in time. Extra-curricular homework is an extension of teaching. It helps to review the knowledge, consolidate it, expand it, and deepen it as well. Therefore extra-curricular homework is an important and effective way in helping the teacher and the students to exchange their ideas and interact with each other.Interest should be taken into consideration in laying out creative math homework. And it should be representative and targeted. In doing such kind of homework, cooperation and exchanges between the teacher and the students should be achieved. This paper mainly studies the following six kind of homework designing. The first one is group research homework; second, the operational homework; third, homework designed by students themselves; fourth, hierarchical homework; fifth, open-ended math problems; sixth, Reflective homework.Instead of teaching the students during the whole class, the Creative math can make the students learn mathematics with enthusiasm initiative and good interest. |
