2. INTRODUCTION
Lockle says that “mathematics is a way to settle in minds
of children,ahabit of reasoning.
Resource materials” are all those sources of information
for the use of pupils that have not been designated as
textbooks and generally must be shared by individual
pupils. Resource materials include reference books,
fiction and nonfiction books, maps, audio and audio-
visual materials, CD ROM’s, pamphlets, periodicals,
pictures and on-line references. Resource materials may
be maintained in classroom library collections and/or in
theschoollibraryormediacenter.
The overall effectiveness of the appropriateness and use
of resources in mathematics for the different types of

3. schools, and their locality was compared. There was no
statistically significant difference within each of these
groupings.
Teaching materials include handouts, unit outlines,
websites, textbooks, visual aids, lecture recordings and
any materials which you provide to your students to
help them learn. They may be more usefully considered
aslearning resources.
The quality and the accessibility of these resources are
equally important. The quality of learning resources is
determined by whether they support students in
achieving the expected learning outcomes. The
accessibility of the learning resources may include the
timeliness and ease of access, as well as the usability for
studentswithspecialneeds.

. CONCLUSION

13. Teaching materials are the resources a teacher uses to deliver
instruction. Each teacher requires a range of tools to draw upon in
order to assist and support student learning. These materials play a
large role in making knowledge accessible to a learner and can
encourage a student to engage with knowledge in different ways.
Text books and journal articles are an important feature of any
university course. It is important that students with visual
impairments or other print disabilities such as dyslexia have access to
electronic versions of reading material. It is possible to make reading
material easily available to all students by placing important chapters
orjournal articleson blackboard.
The Internet also provides opportunities to employ many different
entry points to learning. Teachers can draw from written data,
graphical,audio and video.
.
Flexibility in teaching materials and the use of multimedia make it
possible to reach out to all learning styles. Multimedia via Blackboard
or a course web site can provide the syllabus, assignments, discussion
groups, projects, class notes, video material and the power points for
the lectures. Links to other websites that can provide additional

14. representations of a topic being discussed or as scaffolds or supports
forstudent learningcan also be provided via Blackboard
