B.Ed. Mathematics

Course Objectives

• To develop a strong foundation in mathematical concepts, principles, and problem-solving skills.
• To prepare competent teachers capable of explaining mathematical ideas clearly and logically at the secondary level.
• To cultivate analytical thinking, reasoning ability, and accuracy in solving mathematical problems.
• To train student-teachers in modern teaching strategies that make mathematics interesting and understandable.
• To promote confidence in handling numerical, algebraic, and geometrical concepts.
• To equip trainees with skills in assessment, evaluation, and remedial instruction for diverse learners.
• To foster professional competence, patience, and clarity in mathematical communication.

Pedagogy & Teaching Methodology

The programme adopts an activity-oriented and concept-based approach to mathematics teaching. Student-teachers are trained to use practical demonstrations, problem-solving techniques, mathematical models, visual aids, and interactive strategies to simplify complex concepts. Emphasis is placed on inquiry-based learning, guided discovery, collaborative problem solving, and real-life application of mathematical principles.

Trainees learn lesson planning, classroom management, questioning techniques, and evaluation methods that enhance student understanding. The course also introduces the use of digital tools, mathematical software, and technology-enabled instruction to create engaging and effective learning environments. Micro-teaching sessions, demonstrations, and supervised teaching practice help students gain real classroom experience and develop confidence in teaching mathematics.
