Which of the following is NOT an objective of mathematics Curriculum as per National Curriculum Framework 2005?

Option 3 : Develop rigour in algorithms.

The major purpose of mathematics education in schools according to the National curriculum framework is the mathematization of a child's thought process. Logic, reasoning, problem-solving, creativity, and mathematical mindset are all used in mathematics.

Objectives of mathematics curriculum-

• According to NCF 2005, the higher goal of mathematics is to develop the children's ability to mathematization.
• Connecting concepts to the real-life situation- By relating the concept with the everyday experience of the children the teacher can make the connection between students' life and concepts which boosts students' engagement.
• Encouraging problem solving and problem posing skills.
• To develop an interest of students in mathematics and assist them in comprehending and mastering fundamental mathematical ideas and computational skills.
• To develop creativity and the ability to think, communicate and solve problems.

Hence, we conclude that developing rigour in algorithms is not an objective of the mathematics curriculum as per the national curriculum framework 2005.

 HintDeveloping rigour in algorithms is not effective when teaching more abstract concepts and when it is used too often it's hard for students to focus and concentrate on the subject.
