2. Aim
• The Main Aim of the Single National Mathematics
Curriculum 2020 is to develop:
Mathematical Literacy, induce logical thinking,
reasoning and solve real life situations among students.
(SNC- 2020 , p : 6)
3. Strands
The entire curriculum is divided into four strands:
• Numbers and Operations,
• Algebra, Measurements and Geometry and
• Data Handling,
all underpinned in Reasoning and Logical thinking
which serves as a cross cutting strand.
(SNC- 2020 , p : 6)
4. Values
Curriculum also emphasizes on Values to promote student’s
• Spiritual
• Moral
• Social and
• Cultural development
through mathematics.
(SNC- 2020 , p : 6)
5. Basic aims of Mathematics Curriculum from
Grade I - V
• Instill Mathematical skills for everyday use.
• Strengthen basic mathematical skills (BMS) to
set the foundation for higher level mathematics.
• Develop the ability to think in a logical manner
to analyze diverse situations.
6. • Develop a sense of appreciation and enjoy
learning mathematics.
• Develop a deep and sustainable understanding
through Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract (CPA)
approach.
• Engage in investigations and enquiries to
develop skills in mathematical reasoning,
processing information, making connections to
real life situations and making judgments.
(SNC- 2020 , p : 6)
7. Pedagogical Approaches, Type 1
Real Life Situations and Number Stories are two strategies in teaching.
Real Life Situation: This approaches engage students in analyzing situations and
applying mathematical knowledge to solve related real-life situations.
Number Stories: Construct similar situations intellectually and solve by using
mathematical content. (SNC- 2020 , p : 7)
Pedagogical Approaches, Type 2
• Mental Mathematics and Inquiry Approach
• It develop number sense, forming predictions, justifying arguments
with evidence and drawing conclusions. (SNC- 2020 , p : 7)
8. Assessment
• Alignment with learning outcomes, instructional design and
assessment methods. (SNC- 2020 , p : 7)
Formative Assessment
• Class Tests • Worksheets • Quizzes • Class Activities/ projects
• Homework (SNC- 2020 , p : 76)
Summative Assessment
• Term wise Examination • Final Examination (SNC- 2020 , p : 76)
11. Mathematics Laboratory
• Mathematics laboratory is a place where students can
learn and explore mathematical concepts and verify
mathematics facts and concepts through a variety of
activities using different materials. Activities in math
labs are carried out by the teachers and students to
explore, learn and stimulate interest and develop
favorable attitude towards mathematics.
