Environment changes in teaching and learning mathematics / Mahfuzah Mahayadin, Norul Fadhilah Ismail and Nor Elee Ahmed

Mathematics is a science that has an important role to resolve problems in daily life such as estimating the profit and loss, calculating loans for cars, and figuring out distance, time, and cost for travel. The importance of learning mathematics cannot be separated from its role in various aspects of life. By studying mathematics, someone is accustomed to thinking systematically, scientifically, using logic, critical thinking, and can increase the power of creativity. In UiTM, blended learning has long been introduced with the hope that it can maximize the advantage of teaching and learning delivery methods both traditionally and virtually. In general, instruction or teaching sessions take place mostly in a traditional classroom but are reinforced by online activities that replace some face-to-face classes as depicted in Figure 1. However, it is less popular at the beginning, especially for those who teach mathematics subjects because it is more comfortable interacting with students in the face-to-face learning mode.
