The learner/student gets interest on the content and subject matter that he/she is learning. In this book, the different methods and techniques of teaching mathematics are well discussed. The ideas in the book avoid waste of time in teaching Mathematics, ensure students participation and help the teacher to avoid wasteful and uneconomical learning. Different methods of teaching mathematics such as the Inductive Method, Deductive Method, Lecture method, Heuristic method, Problem-Solving Method, Analytic Method, Synthetic Method and Project Method are discussed. Besides, techniques such as Oral Work, Written Work, Drill in Mathematics, Supervised Study, Self Study and Group Discussions are included and well-illustrated.
