Abstract

In this article, we referred to the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) of Frendenthal - a Dutch mathematician in 1968. We first study the theoretical basis and characteristics of teaching associated with practice methedologies by studying practical situations in the field of in agriculture and forestry related to the Advanced Mathematics. On that basis, we analyzed and gave illustrative examples of some mathematical approaches associated with professional practice of students majoring in agriculture and forestry in teaching advanced mathematics at Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry. Evaluate the effectiveness of teaching associated with practice methedologies, such as increasing learning interest and enhancing the ability to apply mathematics in reality.
