2. INTRODUCTION
• Mathematics is the science of
measurement, quantity and magnitude.
• It is visualized as a vehicle to train a child
to think, reason, analyse and articulate
logically.
• The main goal of mathematics education
in schools is the mathematization of the
child’s thinking.

3. OBJECTIVES
• An objective is a point or end in view of some
things towards which actions are directed, a
planned change sought through any activity
what we set out to do.
• Objectives are definite, clear, narrow, specific
and can be attained in short duration.

4. OBJECTIVES of
TEACHING
MATHEMATICS
1. GENERAL OBJECTIVES
2. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

5. GENERAL OBJECTIVES
• Acquire knowledge of facts, concepts,
theories and principles.
• Develop the ability to communicate
mathematical ideas with precision.
• Develop interest and positive attitude.
• Apply mathematical knowledge to solve real
life problems.

6. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
• Short term immediate goals that are achieved
through classroom instructional/educational

• Also known as instructional/educational
