*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.

7.  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.
