HOW TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM OF MATHEMATICS IN SCHOOLS

Mathematics in general is construed as a subject which is very difficult and thus students fear this subject resulting in low scores. However the fact is otherwise. In order to tackle this problem, the teaching of mathematics has to change. It should be child centred.

Firstly, the child should be made to master tables up to 19. For this quizzes may be designed by the teachers by dividing the students into two groups and asking tables randomly. A game may also be designed on this and may be played on knockout basis.

Next the child should be made to have command over addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the BODMAS rule.

It is found that the child gets confused as to whether his/her addition, subtraction etc is correct or not? For this the method of 9’s for checking addition, subtraction and multiplication should be introduced to the students (Details are available in the accompanying CD).

It can sometimes be confusing for students to decide whether they should major in Marine Biology or just go for other related sciences. It is important to know that there are requirements needed in high school to get into a good college or university that will help you hone your skills further and prepare for the actual profession. You have to understand the differences between majors then make the final decision on what course is best.

Any student who wants to take the BS Marine Biology course is recommended to take up as many math and science subjects as possible. Some of the good foundations include Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Trigonometry and Precalculus.
