Ssc Notes
Mathematics (Algebra and Geometry)
Introduction
Mathematics is the language of all sciences. The subject at the secondary level has great importance in a progressive country like India as it develops various living skill. It is important to note that the subject itself has a separate identity in the life of a man. The challenges due to the tremendous growth in the population, globalization, pollution, competition between countries, natural disasters emphasise the need to develop the curriculum in Mathematics at the secondary level. Knowledge of the subject and skills acquired while learning Mathematics develop the ability to execute, manage, plan with precision. This could be effectively inculcated at the secondary level and is hence a decisive factor in according Mathematics an important place in the scheme of studies of secondary education in the state of Maharashtra.
Mathematics at the primary stage of education develops the skill of quantification of experiences in learners. It helps to develop decision making which is applicable to real life situations in future. In addition, it helps enormously in the development of other disciplines which involves analysis, reasoning and qualification of ideas.
The study of Mathematics has to be graded at different levels viz. primary, higher primary and secondary, higher secondary levels. At the primary stage the focus is on understanding of various concept and fundamentals and on developing the basic skills of calculation. At the secondary level the emphasis is on the capacity of students to apply mathematics in solving problems. Secondly a systematic study of Mathematics as a discipline has to be started and continued for the use of algebraic methods, arithmetical skills. A study of the different applications of mathematics in various fielda like science, geography, economics, social science etc. gives the student a comprehensive and global prespective.
