Mathematics for class 2
1
Curriculum Design:Curriculum is Core design because at primary
level this kind of curriculum is best suited.
PhilosophyPhilosophy is naturalistic because pragmatism and
idealism does not fulfill the need of math students.
Why NaturalismMostly in primary level naturalistic approach is
employed according to naturalism there is an objective reality in
the world and that reality is for all and it can be practically
proved. So in math 4 + 4 = 8 but how? So naturalism gives the
answer how.
Instruction MethodologyClassroom is interactive.
Socratic Method.
Why Math is important:Mathematics is a creation of the human
mind and therefore becomes primarily a way of thinking thus
facilitating problem-solving.Development of mental computation
skills.Objectives:Develop the ability to demonstrate a facility
with numbers and number operations;Analyze information collected by
statistical methods and draw conclusions.Apply the concepts and
skills of measurement and geometry to everyday situations and in
the process develop critical thinking skills; -know the principles,
structures and basic laws of mathematics appropriate to their
level.Be able to link mathematics with other subjects across the
curriculum. Also build a foundation for understanding fractions by
working with shapes and geometry.
ContinuedTo be able to make use of mathematical skills and
knowledge necessary for coping with the practical demands of
everyday life.Use appropriately the existing technology including
but not limited to, calculators and computers as tools of
learning.Course Contents:TopicsContentsSetConcept of set.Members of
Set.Properties of Set.Writing a Set.Finite and infinite Set.Union
and intersection of Set.

(Army Public School)Final TermEvaluation:To know about their
present level of knowledge and what is to be done to bring some
positive change in their learning.Both formative and summative
assessment will be employed. Formative assessment will be most
effective because it correct the student without discouraging,
System of grading and marks discourage the student up to some
extent that is why formative assessment will be given more value
than summative. Achievement test and diagnostic test will be taken
in every month. Achievement test will test their present ability
and it will include the course contents while diagnostic test will
give a chance to the teacher to know about the weakness and
strength of the students.Assessment:
