Managing Innovation Activities in Teaching Math Methods of Teachers

Comments and approval of teachers' teaching plans. Based on the school's general teaching plan, the school principal reviews, comments and approves teachers' teaching plans. This is the legal basis for the principal to check teachers' teaching activities, ensuring the quality of mathematics education in particular and of the school in general.

Coordinate with the Team Leader to check the implementation of the teachers' teaching plans and programs. The HT directs the Center for Teaching and Learning to check the implementation of the teachers' teaching plans and programs. During the professional group meetings, teachers must report to the Center for Teaching and Learning on the progress of implementing the teaching plans. At the same time, the Center for Teaching and Learning is responsible for signing and approving the weekly Teaching Report Book of the teachers. Thereby, the Center for Teaching and Learning can grasp the progress of the teachers' teaching plans and programs, and propose measures to the HT to support teachers in properly implementing the teaching plans and programs. The school's HT can also check the progress of the teachers' implementation of the Math teaching plans and programs by checking the teachers' teaching reports and professional group meeting books.

1.4.1.2. Managing teachers' class time

The implementation of the Math lesson plan is mainly through the teacher's class time. "Class time is a stage in the teaching and learning process, which is completed completely within a certain time frame according to the teaching plan. Therefore, in each class time, the teacher's teaching activities and the students' learning activities are carried out under the mutual influence of the basic elements of the teaching and learning process, which are the purpose, content, methods, means and form of teaching organization."

The effectiveness of a teacher's lesson preparation is reflected in class time. Class time plays a decisive role in the quality of teaching, even affecting the existence of the school. Through a teacher's teaching hours, the strengths and weaknesses in their pedagogical ability and professional qualifications will be revealed. In each class time, the person who plays the main and most important role is the teacher. However, management work also indirectly affects the effectiveness of class time.

class of teachers. Therefore, the school must create conditions to promote the ability and enthusiasm of teachers, and at the same time must have measures to influence the teachers' class time. To manage the implementation of the Math lesson plan, managers must pay attention to the following tasks:

- Manage teachers' preparations such as lesson plans, textbooks, teaching aids. The teacher needs to regularly check the teacher's lesson plan. The lesson plan needs to fully demonstrate the structural elements of teaching activities. These elements must be consistent to achieve the lesson objectives. Each class must have its own lesson plan that is appropriate to the specific abilities and objectives of that class. The school teacher can periodically check the teacher's lesson plan (once a month), check according to the internal inspection plan announced at the beginning of the school year and conduct surprise inspections when necessary. The teacher needs to keep a logbook of teachers' borrowing and returning of teaching aids to manage the use of teaching aids by teachers.

- Check the implementation of teaching plans, program distribution through: teaching reports, personal professional plans of teachers, teacher observation... The HT checks or authorizes the Center to check the implementation of teaching plans, teaching reports (once a month), the HT checks monthly, semesterly teaching reports, and teachers' teaching plans. In addition, the HT also checks the implementation of teaching plans, program distribution through teacher observation carried out according to the plan with two forms of notice and no notice. Regularly checking teaching plans, program distribution through: teaching reports, personal professional plans of teachers, teacher observation aims to effectively manage the implementation of program distribution of teachers, avoiding the situation where teachers teach too many lessons, forcing lessons, affecting students' learning outcomes.

- Check the use of teaching aids through: textbook borrowing log, teaching aids, teacher observation. The teacher needs to regularly monitor the textbook borrowing log, teaching aids to check the frequency of teachers' use of teaching aids; at the same time, the teacher

Schools must also regularly observe teachers' classes to evaluate the level and effectiveness of teachers' use of teaching aids, avoiding the situation of using teaching aids inappropriately and causing waste.

- Check the innovation of teaching methods through: teaching demonstration, teacher observation. Innovation of teaching methods is a mandatory requirement of teaching activities according to the orientation of developing students' competencies. Therefore, teachers need to increase teacher observation to grasp the innovation of teaching methods of teachers. Innovation of teaching methods must be suitable to the lesson content, using appropriate and effective teaching methods, suitable to students' cognitive capacity, stimulating students' thinking, making students love the subject.

1.4.1.3. Managing teachers' activities to innovate teaching methods of Mathematics

With the philosophy of student-centered education, teaching and learning to develop students comprehensively aims at each student. Therefore, teachers must change their teaching methods from teacher-centered to student-centered. In order for the innovation of teaching methods to be fully implemented and bring the highest efficiency, school leaders need to pay attention to the following tasks:

- Applying and combining different active teaching methods such as: group work teaching methods, student-centered methods through demonstration lessons, implementing topics, and teacher observation lessons. Applying and combining active teaching methods with each other or combining active teaching methods with traditional teaching methods is very important for the success of the lesson. Therefore, the school needs to strengthen the guidance for teachers to apply active teaching methods in demonstration lessons, good teaching, and competitions for excellent teachers at all levels; and requiring that lessons will not be classified as good if active teaching methods are not applied.

- Using math software, teaching electronic lesson plans through: demonstration teaching, teacher observation, registering for electronic lesson plans. Currently, there are many math software supporting teaching math in the direction of PTNL such as: Brad's Free Science Software 2.1 of the website

Scienceshareware, supporting math teaching, Cabri 3D Spatial Geometry software, ActivInspire software. Therefore, the school needs to have policies to encourage math teachers to apply math software to math teaching activities.

- Use learning models, teaching aids through: logbook for borrowing mathematical models, teaching aids, demonstration lessons, and teacher observation. The school needs to issue regulations on "borrowing and returning teaching aids" in the working regulations of the agency issued after the Conference of cadres, civil servants, and public employees at the beginning of the school year. The school needs to arrange staff to be on duty in the teaching equipment room regularly to create favorable conditions for teachers to borrow and return teaching equipment, record and sign the logbook completely. Every month, the school must check the logbook for borrowing mathematical models and teaching aids of teachers.

1.4.1.4. Managing the activities of the professional team

At the beginning of the school year, the HT disseminates to the professional group the regulations and requirements for developing the curriculum, teaching plans, and activity plans of the professional group according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Department of Education and Training, and in accordance with the school's school year plan. When developing the curriculum and teaching plans, it is necessary to encourage the groups to develop their own topics and subjects that closely follow the lesson plan. In the activity plan of the professional group, the HT needs to pay attention to directing the professional group to develop specific, detailed, and highly feasible contents of innovative teaching methods, innovative assessment, and innovative professional group activities. Each school year, the HT needs to direct the professional group to re-evaluate the implementation of the proposed innovative contents of the previous school year, on that basis, propose innovative contents to implement in the new school year.

To improve the quality of professional group activities, the school's Board of Directors must regularly inspect and evaluate the group's activities. The Board of Directors can inspect and evaluate on a surprise basis or periodically every month or quarter. The inspection contents include: Professional group activity book, implementation of extracurricular activities,

teaching by topic, subject; teaching log, assessment of student learning outcomes, guidance for self-study, etc. The test contents need to be compared with the professional plan of the group to promptly reward or remind. In addition, the HT also needs to direct the Center for Teaching and Learning to strictly implement the periodic reporting regime of the group's activities so that the Center for Teaching and Learning can review the work done, from which the Center for Teaching and Learning can take measures to remind teachers to properly implement the group's professional plan.

1.4.1.5. Managing the testing and assessment of students' learning outcomes according to the capacity development orientation in primary schools

The school needs to manage the teachers' testing of students to properly assess students' math learning outcomes and teachers' teaching outcomes. It is recommended to use objective multiple choice tests combined with essays to test students' math learning outcomes to limit the impact of subjective factors in the assessment process; at the same time, the school also needs to direct teachers to evaluate students based on output results to encourage students to study better and properly assess students' abilities after each semester. To effectively manage testing and evaluation of students' learning outcomes in the direction of developing abilities in primary schools, the school needs to perform the following tasks well:

- The school organizes seminars and workshops to disseminate to teachers the significance of assessing student results in improving the quality of teaching and learning in the direction of developing student competencies, improving students' assessment skills during the learning process, assessing students based on student outcomes; disseminating to teachers the regulations and testing regulations according to Circular 22/2016/TT-BGDDT, guiding documents on innovation in assessment and evaluation of the Ministry, Department of Education and Training and school regulations for teachers to implement throughout the school year. In addition, the school also needs to stipulate the deadline for teachers to grade and return papers to students, avoiding the situation where teachers are slow or do not return papers to students, making students unable to gain experience in the learning content or not creating excitement for students.

affecting the effectiveness of students' activities. To ensure that marking and returning papers are done according to regulations, the school needs to regulate and regularly check the entry of personal grade books and the entry of scores into the website www.c1.hcm.edu.vn

- The school system needs to strengthen IT application in managing students' learning results. Every month, teachers enter regular comments and each semester, enter test scores and comments on the website www.c1.hcm.edu.vn.

1.4.2. Managing conditions to support teaching and learning of Mathematics in the direction of developing students' capacity in primary schools

Conditions supporting mathematics teaching activities are a factor of teaching activities that act as a "catalyst". If the supporting conditions are good, teaching activities will take place smoothly and easily achieve educational goals. In teaching activities oriented towards capacity development, supporting conditions are even more important. In terms of relationships, families, homeroom teachers, Youth Union, and Young Pioneers all have an impact on teaching activities oriented towards capacity development for students. In terms of resources, facilities, finance, means, and equipment for teaching mathematics have a positive impact on the effectiveness of teaching activities oriented towards capacity development for students. If both groups of subjects above have a positive impact on teaching activities oriented towards capacity development for students, this is a very comprehensive and effective impact that it creates for the development of students' capacity. Therefore, the school must pay close attention to managing the conditions supporting mathematics teaching activities oriented towards capacity development for students in primary schools.

To effectively implement this content, the school principal needs to direct the homeroom teacher to make a monthly homeroom plan. In particular, the principal needs to direct the homeroom teacher to develop measures to manage the implementation of students' study habits, proactively coordinate with parents to remind and encourage students to study well in Math. Through the electronic messaging system, the homeroom teacher informs parents about the implementation of students' study habits to parents every day/week. In addition, the principal also needs to direct the homeroom teacher to discuss with

Parents of students about students' learning methods, synchronous impact measures of homeroom teachers and parents on students to improve the effectiveness of learning Math in regular parent-teacher meetings.

The school needs to ensure adequate facilities and teaching equipment for Mathematics. With fully provided teaching equipment, teachers can introduce lesson content to students in a visual and vivid way, increasing their ability to absorb lessons because students receive information not only by listening but also by seeing, touching, etc. In addition, the school also organizes competitions to make teaching aids, design E.learning lessons, etc. Through these competitions, the school can both promote collective intelligence in Mathematics teaching activities according to the orientation of PTNL, and have many teaching aids and many good lesson plans to serve teaching work in the next stage. After each competition, the school needs to direct the professional team to develop a plan to make and use teaching aids effectively, apply IT in teaching Mathematics. And conduct checks on the use of teaching equipment, application of IT in teaching Mathematics by teachers throughout the school year.

1.5. Factors affecting the management of teaching and learning activities of Mathematics towards developing students' capacity in primary schools

1.5.1. Subjective factors

1.5.1.1. Perceptions of managers and teachers about teaching Mathematics

The awareness of managers and teachers about teaching Mathematics in the direction of developing students' human resources has the greatest influence on teaching activities in Mathematics in the direction of developing students' human resources. If managers and teachers of Mathematics have full awareness of the role and importance of teaching activities in Mathematics in the direction of developing students' human resources for the development of students in particular and for the requirements of current educational reform in general, they will be determined to carry out well teaching activities in Mathematics in the direction of developing students' human resources.

1.5.1.2. Qualifications and management capacity of the Principal

The Principal's level and management capacity have the effect of promoting or

restraining the effectiveness of teaching activities. If the school has good management skills and capacity, with limited resources, it is still possible to carry out teaching activities in the direction of developing students' competencies and maximize the effectiveness of using those resources. The close attention and direction of the Board of Directors and the Head of the professional group in teaching mathematics, which is carried out regularly, continuously and in parallel with the assessment of teaching activities in the direction of developing students' competencies, will have the effect of orienting, adjusting, encouraging and motivating teachers and students to actively teach and learn; making teaching activities in mathematics in the direction of developing students' competencies increasingly become routine and achieve high results.

1.5.1.3. Professional qualifications of teachers

Teachers are the ones who directly organize Math teaching activities in the direction of developing students' competencies, and are role models for students to follow. Teachers must build the right learning motivation for students, organize educational activities suitable to students' psychological characteristics, and guide students to self-study and self-check their work. Therefore, the professional qualifications and skills of teachers have a great influence on the effectiveness of Math teaching activities in the direction of developing students' competencies.

1.5.1.4. Students' learning level and capacity

Students' awareness and ability to learn Mathematics. This is the most important factor for teaching activities according to the orientation of developing students' competencies. Because students are the center of all educational activities, the goal of educational activities in terms of personality. The method of assessing students has the effect of promoting or inhibiting the effectiveness of teaching activities according to the orientation of developing students' competencies. If teachers conduct assessment and evaluation of thinking ability, problem-solving ability, ability to apply mathematical knowledge into practice... then students will try to study to perfect those skills. Besides, correctly assessing students' competencies also helps students adjust their own learning activities to become more and more progressive.

1.5.1.5. Friendly teaching environment

The teaching environment is the internal environment that has a great influence on
