Teaching Mathematics (Paperback)

Curriculum issues are central to all education systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate curriculum issues which have effect on pupils' performance in Mathematics. Pupil performance in Mathematics has been alarmingly poor in public examinations. Some of the curriculum issues investigated included textbook availability, class size, use of visual aids, teaching methods and students' attitude towards Mathematics. In addition, pupil performance on identified problem areas such as percents, approximation and decimal fractions was also investigated. This book is a must read for all Mathematics and Curriculum teachers.
