How to get 100% pass in Mathematics - Part 1 - K Bhanumoorthy


How to get 100% pass in Mathematics
 ---------- K  Bhanumoorthy

Introduction:   This title/topic has been chosen for the reason being no detention till Class VIII. Under the current provision of the RTE Act which provides for free and compulsory education  to  all  children  of the  age  6 to 14 years.  The idea may be to minimize the dropouts up to class VIII. Even otherwise, keeping 100% pass is a must in every class, from class I onwards by every teacher, sustaining our commitments to one of the noblest professions. “A TEACHER” .I wish to stress, the students go to the next higher class with at least minimum required abilities (MLL) there by no one blames our own  colleagues/ the other teachers.  Every child wants to learn. A teacher has to have some inert qualities, to my mind 3 C’s, Commitment, Concern for students, Character. It has been a myth that mathematics is a difficult subject and it is for who have high IQ. It is not so. It is quite  interesting and its applications are applied in all fields.

Let us discuss ways and means:
There are Different School Boards in India
·           Central board of Secondary education.(CBSE)
·           Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE-ICSE/ISC)
·           International Baccalaureate (IB)
·          Cambridge Assessment International Education (Cambridge International).

As per Oxford dictionary the curriculum means “a course of study “. The curriculum gives guide lines what to teach in an academic year. How do we teach, learning outcomes, how the assessment is done, are matters of questions.

To achieve 100% pass in maths should be a target, to be fixed by the teachers in the beginning of the academic year. There is no compromise at all. Aim is to be followed by an action. The teachers have to ask students also to fix the target, in the year beginning, may be as initial set in goal. The students have aimed at, no other way; he/ she should work for it. Teachers have to guide, timely support and encouragement, remedial measures shall go a long way to attain. The target may be revised showing upward trend before the annual / board examination.
