• Joyless learning.

• Examination system.

• Textbook as the ‘Truth’.

• Structure of syllabus.

*Problem of Curriculum Load

Developing children’s abilities for Mathematisation

• To think and reason mathematically.

• To pursue assumptions to their logical conclusion.

• To handle abstraction.

• Way of doing things , the ability and the attitude to formulate and solve problems.

*MAIN GOAL OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

• To develop useful capabilities particularly those related to numbers and their operations , measurement, decimal and percentage etc.

*NARROW AIM OF SCHOOL MATHEMATICS

• Ambitious

• Coherent

• There should be important principles of mathematics

*CHARACTERISTICS OF CURRICULUM

* SOME PROBLEM’S IN SCHOOL MATHEMATICS

*A majority of children have a sense of fear and failure regarding mathematics

*The curriculum is disappointing not only to this non participating majority, but also to the talented minority by offering them no challenges.

*Problems, exercise and methods of evaluation are mechanical and repetitive with too much

*Teacher has lack of confidence, preparation and support.

*There is no connection between mathematics and other subject of the study.

Children learn to enjoy mathematics rather than fear it.

Children learn importance of mathematics :Mathematics

is more than formulas and mechanical procedures. Children pose and solve meaningful problems. Children use abstractions to perceive relation-ships,

to see structures , to reason out things ,to argue the truth and falsity of statement.

Teacher engage every child in class with the confidence that everyone can learn mathematics.

*VISION FOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS
