Abstract:
Mathematics is an important subject in School Curriculum. If any
subject area of study evokes wide emotional comment, it is mathematics. For
the school going children there is a general opinion in our society that those
students who score poor marks in mathematics are dull students, even if they
score good marks in other subjects on the other hand, if a student scores
good marks in mathematics and poor marks in other subjects, he is
considered to be intelligent and bright. That is to say that at School level
child's intelligence is judged on the basis of marks obtained in Mathematics. Is
it really so? Do marks obtained in mathematics really judges about the
intelligence of a Child? Keeping this aspect in view the researcher had taken
a step to see the real understanding of students of various levels of
achievement in mathematics. The topic chosen is an attempt to find out how
; 1\
much competent the high /scorers (in mathematics) are in comparison to
average or low scorers in terms of understanding the concepts and in
application of the concepts.
