Certificate IN TEACHING OF PRIMARY SCHOOL MATHEMATIC (CTPM)
IGNOU
Most people, children or adults, usually dread mathematics. Why does this happen? We believe that the problem is due to the way
mathematics is usually taught from early school on. In this awareness level practical-oriented programme we look at ways in which
we can teach mathematics to children in a way that will make them feel positive about it.
This programme consists of two courses. Both the courses are built around detailed examples of ways of communicating mathematical
concepts/processes/skills to children up to the age of 10. Thus, the programme is aimed at pre-primary and primary school teachers, as well as
parents of young children.

This awareness level practical-oriented programme provides some strategies for teaching mathematics to children in a way that will make them feel positive about it. The Programme is aimed at pre-primary and primary school teachers, as well parents of young children. Its basic objectives are to help primary school teachers to critically look at their mathematics teaching strategies and alter them to suit their students’ background; to refresh teachers about the acquisition and learning process in the context of mathematics learning; and to make the discourse of mathematics teaching available to a wider section of society by exposing them to the need for giving a meaning and context while learning or teaching mathematical concepts, processes and skills.
