Curriculum Design:
Curriculum is Core design because
at primary level this kind of
curriculum is best suited.

Philosophy
Philosophy is naturalistic because pragmatism
and idealism does not fulfill the need of math
students.

Why Naturalism
Mostly in primary level naturalistic approach is
employed according to naturalism there is an objective
reality in the world and that reality is for all and it can
be practically proved.
So in math 4 + 4 = 8 but how? So naturalism gives
the answer how.

Instruction Methodology
Classroom is interactive.

Socratic Method.

Why Math is important:

Mathematics is a creation of the human mind and
therefore becomes primarily a way of thinking thus
facilitating problem-solving.
Development of mental computation skills.

Objectives:
Develop the ability to demonstrate a facility with numbers and number
operations;
Analyze information collected by statistical methods and draw
conclusions.
Apply the concepts and skills of measurement and geometry to everyday
situations and in the process develop critical thinking skills; -know the
principles, structures and basic laws of mathematics appropriate to their
level.
Be able to link mathematics with other subjects across the curriculum.
Also build a foundation for understanding fractions by working with
shapes and geometry.

Continued
To be able to make use of mathematical
skills and knowledge necessary for coping
with the practical demands of everyday
life.
Use appropriately the existing technology
including but not limited to, calculators
and computers as tools of learning.

Final Term

Evaluation:
To know about their present level of knowledge and what is to be done to
bring some positive change in their learning.
Both formative and summative assessment will be employed.
Formative assessment will be most effective because it correct the student
without discouraging,
System of grading and marks discourage the student up to some extent that
is why formative assessment will be given more value than summative.
Achievement test and diagnostic test will be taken in every month.
Achievement test will test their present ability and it will include the course
contents while diagnostic test will give a chance to the teacher to know about
the weakness and strength of the students.
