10. NPE-1968
• National Policy on Education, 1968, which shared the dream of all
round development in every field through technological and
scientific advancements

11. NPE-1986
• “Mathematics should be visualized as the vehicle to train
a child, to think, reason, analyze and to articulate logically.
Apart from being a specific subject, it should be treated as
a concomitant to any subject involving analysis and
reasoning”

12. NCF-2005
• National Curricular Framework 2005 wherein it is
envisaged child’s active engagement in mathematics
learning involving “enquiry, exploration, questioning,
debates, application and reflection leading to theory
building and creation ideas/positions in mathematics”.

13. VISIONS
• Children learn to enjoy mathematics
• Children learn important mathematics
• Children see mathematics as something to talk about, to
communicate, to discuss among them-selves, to work
together on
• Children see mathematics as something to talk about, to
communicate, to discuss among them-selves, to work
together on
