KNOWING AND TEACHING ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS

Summary/Abstract: Imperative of time when technology is developing with a huge drive momentum is also teaching developments according requirements of time. The process of teaching mathematics in the lower cycle requires teachers to follow the experiences of developed countries, who have put technology at the service of teachers and students in order to increase the results of both students and teachers. Teachers knowledge of the content of the material that is explained is not sufficient for the teaching profession, but these must be supplemented with methodological knowledge of the subject and the use of adequate tools during teaching. This paper deals with challenges faced by teachers of the primary school in the subject of mathematics. The challenges of a teacher's daily life are both teaching content of the subject, as well as the insufficient teaching tools, the organization and management of the classes. The instrument used in this research is the questionnaire, completed by 104 primary school teachers from several cities of R.N.M. Results obtained after the processing of the questionnaires show that the teachers are sufficiently prepared both in the mathematical content and in the methodological aspect of the subject of mathematics. This paper also confirms the hypothesis, according which the preparation of teachers in the methodological aspect of the subject of mathematics depends on the preparation of teachers in terms of mathematical content (0.687 Pearson correlation coefficient)
