The book meets the requirements of BEd students of various Indian universities and hence is useful for all those undergoing teacher training. The book will acquaint these students with mathematics as a school subject and provide them with a solid foundation to build their expertise in the teaching of the subject. For in-service teachers it serves to refresh the methodological knowledge and skills of imparting information. In addition to pupil-teachers the book will also help trainers in understanding the methodology of teaching mathematics in a systematic and effective manner. The book is unique and stands out of its peers in the following ways: 1. It provides due space to techniques of teaching mathematics effectively, such as collaborative learning, co-operative learning, inquiry-based learning and activity-based learning. 2. It discusses constructivism approach to teaching mathematics distinctively. 3. It follows innovative and ICT-based pedagogical practices, such as e-learning, blended learning, mobile learning and u-learning. 4. Effectively discusses different techniques of evaluation and setting of questions on different mathematical topics, corresponding to each objective of cognitive domain. 5. Includes mathematical examples of teaching maxims and principles.
