Abstract

The purpose of this study is to study ethnomathematics aspects contained in Chinese Tulou architecture. The study uses the qualitative research method to describe the ethnomathematics value of Tulou building in China, and then connect Chinese Tulou building with mathematics. The method of data collection is document's content analysis. The study found that Chinese Tulou contains a wealth of mathematical knowledge, including mathematical knowledge of geometric figures in mathematics, such as circle, triangle, rectangle, square, octagon, cylinder, octaprism, as well as the area and volume of geometric figures. Therefore, in daily teaching life, teachers can use Tulou as teaching materials, which was not only help students understand mathematics knowledge but also improve the enthusiasm of students.

Abstract

This research analyzes the types and reasons of students' mistakes in solving probability and the analysis statistics problems by qualitative research method. The subjects were 20 senior High school students from a senior high school in Guangxi, China. The data were collected through the student diagnostic test. The students' answers were analyzed by using O'Connel's analysis. The results show that the proportion of misunderstood problems is 48.18% at the largest proportion, and the proportion of computational errors is next, accounting for 36.36%. The proportion of procedural errors is the least, accounting for 15.45%. As we all know, there are many reasons for the above mistakes., so teachers can find some solutions to overcome these mistakes.
