It develops our reasoning, helps us to have analytical thinking, quickens our mind, generates practicality, and also its use can be applied in the day-to-day life. The book meets the necessities of B.Ed. students of different Indian universities and hence is useful for all those undertaking teacher training. The book will explain to these students with mathematics as a school subject and provide them with a solid basis to build their skills in the teaching of the subject. For pre- and in-service teachers, it serves to rejuvenate the methodological knowledge and skills of conveying information. In addition to pupil-teachers, the book will also benefit trainers in understanding the methodology of teaching mathematics in an organised and effective manner.
The book is unique and stands out from its peers as it provides due space to techniques for teaching mathematics effectively, such as collaborative learning, cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning, and activity-based learning. It discusses a constructivist approach to teaching mathematics distinctively. The authors are heavily indebted to all who supported this venture throughout.
