Option 3 : Mathematics should be contextualised with the help of daily life examples

The National curriculum framework (NCF) 2005 is India's 4th national curriculum framework, which was released in 2005 by the National Council of educational research in training NCERT. Its predecessors were released in 1975, 1988, and 2000 respectively.

It serves as a guideline for syllabus, textbooks, and teaching practices for schools in India.

Objectives of mathematics

  • According to NCF 2005, the higher goal of teaching mathematics is to develop the children's ability to mathematization.
  • To develop an interest of students in mathematics and assist them in comprehending and mastering fundamental mathematical ideas and computational skills.
  • To help children develop creativity and the ability to think, communicate and solve problems.
  • Developing problem-solving skills and making mathematics a part of a child's everyday life.
  • Developing desirable thinking, reasoning analyzing and articulating logical attitudes.

Hence, we conclude that an important objective of the mathematics curriculum is that mathematics should be contextualized with the help of daily life examples.

  • Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics like algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, etc. Mathematics is not just arithmetic.
  • The formal algorithm should not be taught in primary grades as it will be difficult for children to understand them which discourages them from learning.
