Effectiveness Of Constructivist Approach On Mathematics Achievement Of Class VII Students

Abstract

As mathematics is a compulsory subject at the secondary stage, so, access to quality mathematics education is the right of every child. According to National Curriculum Framework (2005), developing children's abilities for mathematisation is the main goal of mathematics education. The narrow aim of school mathematics is to develop 'useful' capabilities, particularly those relating to numeracy-numbers, number operations, measurements, decimals and percentages. The higher aim is to develop the chilo's resources to think and reason' mathematically, to pursue assumptions to their logical conclusion and to handle abstraction. It includes a way of doing things, and the ability and the attitude to formulate and solve problems.
