Why Maths
Math skills have become even more
important in todays economy dominated by ICE [Information technology,
Communications and Entertainment]. Even with the advent of computers
and calculators it is one tool which is maximally used on a day
to day basis.
Historically speaking, we have always
been good at maths. We invented zero. We had renowned mathematicians
like Ramanujan. Somehow the present generation is losing out on
the maths edge. This is maybe because of 1] poor teaching methodology,
2] students perception of maths being difficult, fearful, boring
or irrelevant, 3] lack of awareness of career opportunities with
[or without] maths. We need to make efforts to popularize maths
among school students. To do so we need to remove the fear of maths
by making learning fun. We need to incorporate innovative teaching
methods which will make students learning of maths fun.
