A well-informed and knowledgeable
community is of vital importance for the economic and social
development of a modem society. The knowledge and skills
required for present day activities are much more complex
than those required in the past. Today, many jobs require
expert thinking and non-routine analytical skills, to
identify and solve problems. Mathematics education focuses
on developing a person's analytical and problem solving
abilities. Thus a high quality mathematics education win
ensure that students develop the skills that are essential
not only in science and technology, but also in everyday
life and the workplace. The government of Sri Lanka,
recognizing the need for a high quality mathematics
education has implemented several reforms in the recent
past. Although the progress achieved is commendable, there
is still room for improvement in certain important aspects
of the learning teaching process. The main aim of the
mathematics curriculum under these reforms is to create
individuals who are able to think mathematically and apply
mathematical knowledge effectively and responsibly in
problem solving and decision making. |
