Correct Answer - Option 2 : to see the numbers as group of hundreds, tens and ones and understand the significance of place value
Mathematics is the study of geometrical figures, their co-relation, and their dependency on each other. It deals with quantity, measurement, and spatial relationships.
- The teaching of mathematics should be done in a pre-defined order that is psychologically organized as per the needs of the students.
-
According to National Curriculum Framework-2005, the main goal of Mathematics education in school is the mathematization of the child’s thought process.
- An objective in teaching may better be defined "as the desired change in behavior in a person that we try to bring about through education".
- Objectives are general goals or targets to be achieved to form the base of a subject. They are long-term goals and can be achieved after the completion of the whole course.
The main objectives of teaching number system to primary stage students are:
- To develop a proper understanding of the number system.
- To enable the students to recognize the numbers by their place value and face value.
- To enable the students to identify the numbers collectively as the groups of ones, tens, and hundreds.
- To enable the students to differentiate between the place value and face value of different numbers.
- To enable the students to compare the place value of different numbers.
- To understand the concept of place value(ones, tens, hundreds) and to enable them to perform the basic functions like addition and subtraction with simpler digits i.e., up to three-digit numbers.
Hence, the objective of the teaching number system to primary-stage students is to enable the students to see the numbers as a group of hundreds, tens, and ones and understand the significance of place value.
