qualities that are nurtured by mathematics are power of reasoning, creativity,
abstract thinking, problem solving ability and effective communication skills.

world cannot move an inch. Even insects use mathematics in their everyday life
for existence. There are countless examples of mathematical patterns in natures
fabric. A good curriculum of mathematics is helpful in effective teaching and
learning of the subject.
Group C: Experience says learning mathematics can be made easier and
enjoyable if our curriculum includes mathematical activities and games.
Mathematics puzzles and riddles encourage and attract an alert and open minded
attitude among youngsters and help them develop clarity in their thinking.
Emphasis must be laid in development of clear concept in mathematics in a
child, right from the primary classes itself. The child must be appreciated for
every correct attempt. And the mistakes must be corrected then and there
without any criticism.
Group D: The greatest hurdle in the process of learning mathematics is
lack of practice. Students must work out some problems from different areas to
master the basic concept and develop speed and accuracy in solving a problem.
Another very effective means of spreading the knowledge of mathematics among
children is through peer teaching. In the process their doubts on the topic and
clear them through discussions in a group.

are more mathematical in our approach the more successful we will be.
Mathematics offers rationality to our thoughts. It is a tool in our hands to

life. No matter where we are as well as whatever we are doing mathematics is
always there whether we notice it or not. Let us have a deep look at this
