Pardon Marufu

The focus of the study is to apply the mapping method to innovate curriculum design. The purpose is to explore how to use the teaching method concept mapping to help learners build scaffolding, so that learners can organize scattered knowledge and construct meaningful integer knowledge through concept mapping. In other words, it helps the intermediate phase learners to present integer abstract concepts in a practical way and show the interrelated concepts and facts when working with integers. Concept mapping is regarded as a powerful tool for teaching Science and this study explores how effective the concept mapping skills can be used in exploring Mathematical concepts such as integers. The analysis of this paper is done using the Blooms Taxonomy.
