CTPM: Certificate Programme in Teaching Primary School Mathematics(ODL) Apply Now

Introduction

Most people, children or adults, usually read mathematics. Why does this happen? We believe that the problem is due to the way mathematics is usually taught from early school on. In this awareness level, practical-oriented programme we look at ways in which we can teach mathematics to children, so that they feel mathematics is their friend! This programme consists of two courses. Both the courses are built around detailed examples of ways of communicating mathematical concepts/processes/skills to children upto the age of 10. Thus, the programme is aimed at pre-primary and primary school teachers, as well as parents of young children.

Objective

To help primary school teachers to critically look at their mathematics teaching strategies and alter them to suit their students’ backgrounds;
b) To increase the teachers’ awareness about the nature of mathematics and the need to learn it;
c) To refresh the teachers about the acquisition and learning process, in the context of mathematics learning;
d) To make teachers aware of various interactive teaching strategies and techniques for teaching mathematics;
e) To make the discourse of mathematics teaching available to a wider section of society by exposing them to the need for giving a meaning and context while learning or teaching mathematical concepts/processes/skills.
