Continuing the pattern of earlier books of this series, each chapter starts with some guidelines to the teachers and parents. These guidelines are helpful while imparting mathematical learning to the students. These have been provided in the smaller type size to differentiate with the contents, which are meant for the students. The book has been written for ensuring the development of following Learning Outcomes:
- Understanding of four fundamental operations and perform them
with speed and accuracy in solving problems of day-to-day life which
are based on numbers, fractional numbers and decimals.
- Understanding of various kinds of measurements such as length,
mass, capacity, money, time, temperature, area and volume and use
these measurements in situations arising in the learner’s immediate
environment.
- Understanding and appreciation of geometrical shapes and their
characteristics and discuss, describe and draw two/three -
dimensional shapes.
- Development of power of Interpretation and Representation of
given information.
- Development and expression of creative skills.
- Development of power of thinking and reasoning.
