Abstract

Teaching mathematics in weak students is one of the most challenging jobs. That is due to the fact that those students lack the abstract concepts and logical procedures needed to establish logical techniques that allow them to understand higher complex problems they might face afterward. Thus, it is needed to implement an innovative teaching method to maximize students’ motivation, and so the performance. Moreover, the necessity of easing the difficulties in mathematics pushes instructors to find an effective ways in order to simplify the learning objectives. Modelling the learning concepts using charts as mini-lecture is one of these methods. The author made a comparison in this paper between two Elementary Algebra course groups in Foundation Program at Qatar University. Using the traditional teaching method for one group and the charts method as preparation before lectures for the other one gave an indicator about the effectiveness of the mentioned method and shows whether the students have stepped toward more understanding of the course objectives.
