When all teachers and their immediate Officers will take due care of all the students during the process of teaching Maths,when all teachers and their officers will fully realize their responsibilities, when all teachers will have the desire and interest rather a thirst of making students extraordinary efficient and intelligent and when all teachers will use modern technology. When all the teachers will teach the students by using various modern teaching aids including smart Board and maxims of teaching for teaching Maths . When all the students will do rigorous practice then all the students will learn Maths and will gain full command and the mastery in this subject.
After detailed research by the Educationists & Experts in Maths it has been analysed that when students do not gain full command over four fundamental operations of Maths….command to such extent that every student would be able to solve any problem involving these fundamental operations with full command and confidence in such a reasonable time in which the genius student of same class can solve it then a pressure is developed in the mind of the students that study is tough or difficult for them.
Solution : Teachers must teach four fundamental operations to the students in such a manner that they will gain full command over four fundamental operations of Maths…. Such command that every student would be able to solve any problem involving these fundamental operations in such a reasonable time in which the genius student of same class can solve it then students will not consider study tough or difficult for them. Now proper method of teaching this important subject is explained here in below:
when a child seeks admission in a School and starts learning from his teacher , it is obligatory duty of every teacher to teach him proper recognition of alphabets of English , Hindi or Urdu . In Maths there are ten digits which must be taught properly to every child with full recognition which are now adays known as alphabets of Maths and thereafter formation of numbers and counting up hundred be taught . when a child achieves the requisite learning level fixed by the School Education Department through the various Expert committees constituted for this purpose from time to time then the child must be promoted to the next higher class .
It has been observed by the experts of the Department of school Education that when the four fundamental operations of Maths are not taught properly to a child with full command then he finds/feels learning Maths a difficult and consequently whole teaching learning processes becomes difficult rather tough task for the child and a tremendous pressure is developed which increases continuously in the mind of the child. In this way a child gradually loss interest in studies and teaching learning processes becomes a burden for the child . Either he leaves the studies midway or become weak in studies and thus can not secure good percentage of Marks at graduation or postgraduation level and lags behind to his other class fellows and consequently it become difficult for him to compete with his other contemporaries in this age of competitions. In this way a child can not achieve the beautiful goal fixed by his parents for him and in this way all the hopes of poor parents are dashed to the grounds.
It is pertinent to mention here that for proper teaching of Maths a child must be taught four fundamental operations viz division, multiplication, addition and subtraction on set of Natural numbers , integers, decimal numbers , Rational numbers and Real numbers in an excellent manner so that child could be able to solve correctly any type of problem involving these fundamental operations in a minimum possible time. It has been observed that when a child fails to learn four fundamental operations especially division and multiplication then child can not use these operations with full Command in solving various problems .Hence the child starts considering Maths as a difficult subject contrary to the reality and facts because Maths is not only an easiest but it makes easy leading of all other Subject for a child .Beside BODMAS must be taught to a child with due care and sincerity . Each alphabet of BODMAS is used for a particular operation viz B is used for brackets which are of four types which includes bar bracket, shirt bracket, curly bracket and Long bracket and these brackets are solved in the order in which these have been mentioned here in abo’ve. O stand for “of”, D for Division, M for multiplication, A for addition and S for subtraction. All the above operations are applied/used in the order of alphabets given in the word “BODMAS”.
when Maths is taught by applying proper methods of teaching then this subject increases the inner abilities, capabilities and capacities of child automatically which in turn will increase interest of the child toward studies.
when a teacher takes extra interest in teaching Maths with sincerity , dedication and devotion then a number of values are created in the child details of which is given here in below:
A child solves the problems of Maths step by step and finds the answer but does not jump to the answer at once. In this way during this processes of solving various problem of Maths a child learns patience and tolerance which are the two important values which will help a child in leading happy and dignified life till his last breath by maintaining coolness of his mind. When the child does not apply the requisite method & formula the question become wrong . with this the child learns importance of proper rules and norms and thus he learns respect of Rules ,norms and law. Child learns that respecting law is the secret of success of life which further teaches to a child all the basic principles of life. when a child fails to solve a question at his own level he seeks help of his classfellows in solving it and in this way children learn helping each other or importance of helping others .when all the students fail to solve a question then they seek help of their Maths teacher in solving the said question . This makes apparent clear to them the importance of teacher in teaching learning process and in this way respect of teacher increases in mind of all the children .
Maths is a most scoring subject . when all the questions are solved correctly then a child secures hundred percent marks but this would be possible only when whole syllabi would have been taught to the children. concept of securing hundred percent Marks will creat a sense of learning whole Syllabi of Maths in the mind of children . Now for preparing whold syllabi a child is required to sit for a long time as per his need and with this concept sitting habit is developed among children. Since more and more sitting habit is required for performing duties on various Administrative posts and such sitting habit is created among children while learning Maths.
Generally speaking Maths is divided into three parts which includes Commercial Maths , Algebra and Geometry. Commercial Maths is learned by using mind power and basic knowledge of Maths.Suppose an Article is purchased for Rs 80 and is sold for Rs 100 then there will be a profit of Rs 20 which can be determined by making use of mind .when an Article is purchased for less amount and sold for more then there will be profit otherwise there will be loss. when a learner of Maths applies his mind on this type of problems of commercial Maths then his thinking and reasoning power increase many fold provided that he may be tension free and will be enjoying this whole teaching learning processes.
when the learner will be weak in applying fundamental operations especially division and multiplication then Maths will become burden for him he will not become an efficient and capable personality. The second part of Maths is Algebra .It’s questions are solved by making use of given values in the requisite formula. when correct values are used only then question can be solved . From this processes a learner , learns carefulness and method of using or applying correct values . Third part is Geometry which can be understood properly by understanding the different figures. In order to creat interest among the learners it is necessary for the teacher to link these geometric figures and other topics of Maths with day to day problems of life . Viz trigonometry can be used for construction of bridges, buildings , pillars and towers etc.
When latest method will be used for teaching Maths to the students then a good impact will be developed on the heart and mind of the students and certainly misunderstanding will not be created about this important subject in the mind of children that Maths is a tough or difficult Subject because when four fundamental operations and BODMA are taught properly to the students and requisite interest and thirst of learning is created among children with love and affection of teachers then they (children) will learn it easily.
when Maths teacher will use proper methods of teaching this subject then misunderstanding about this important subject will come to an end for ever from the minds of students and their parents . Now I think necessary to write proper and appropriate methods of learning this important Subject:
1 A learner of Maths must have a text book of Maths, A note book and a pen with him.
2 A learner must read the question to be solved by him carefully so as to understand it to the extent that learner may come to know what is given and what is required to be find out. Thereafter a learner must try to find out the formula which can be used to solve the question in hand.
3 Then learner must put the values in the requisite formula and must solve it to find the answer. In case he could not solve the question in two- three attempts he should leave it and must start solving next question and so on . On the next day the learner must seek help of Maths teacher in solving the question which could not be solved by him on the previous day.
4 It must be known to all the learners of Maths that in order to get full Command over this subject of important nature a learner is required to solve the problems/ questions of a number of times . The more the number of times a question is solved a learner will gain more command over it.
Maths can not be learned by mere reading it like languages but it can be learned by doing more and more practice over its problems/ questions required according to the need and interest of learner.
It is a fact that when a student can not understand this subject properly then studies become tough and a burden for him and he can not acquire studies up to desired level and leave the studies midway. On the other hand when a learner gets full command over all the fundamental operations including BODMAS then interest of the learner increases day by day and consequently power of his mind and his abilities and capacities increase many fold and thus he become an intelligent personality with extra ordinary efficiency in English because when basic Maths is learnt properly studies become easiest for the learner and he becomes intelligent in all the subjects including English.
The purpose of writing this article is that through the medium of it I want to convey all the students and their parents that Maths is an Easiest Subject and it also makes easy learning of all other subjects provided that from the very beginning requisite interest must have been created in children in learning it. Teacher must teach sincerely by using appropriate and latest methods of teaching by using required teaching aids so that a learner must take due interest in studies in order to develop the requisite efficiency required for achieving a beautiful goal. Be it known to all the concerned that if a child is efficient in Maths then he become efficient in all other subjects also . He develops ability of self expression and thus can easily qualify any of the competitive examinations after which he would easily achieve a beautiful goal of his life and would get ample of opportunities of serving the Society and the Nation.
My message to all the teacher is that every teacher with any qualification can teach four fundamental operation .Once you teach these operations with sincerity with full dedication and devotion then and child will get command over these operations and also requisite interest in studies will be developed in his mind and heart and then the learner will start his journey toward the requisite beautiful goal.
Students having full command and proper understanding of basic concepts of Maths can always become extra ordinary intelligent and efficient and all rounder in various aspects of life.
