DESCRIPTION
The science of mathematics played a pivotal role not only in the industrial revolution but in the scientific development that have occurred since. No other branch of science is complete without mathematics. In today’s knowledge-based society, mathematics is the energy that drives the system. New mathematical techniques and analyses and even conceptual frameworks are continually required in economics, in finance, in material sciences, in physics, in biology, in medicine, etc. Mathematical understanding and reasoning are essential components of success in all walks of life. Designed on the basis of UNESCO ICT initiatives, this book offers a variety of strategies, techniques and practical directions for all who wish to learn and teach mathematics effectively. It aims to engage prospective teachers in mathematical activities that will enhance their conceptual knowledge, introduce them to important manipulatives, and model the kind of mathematical learning experiences that they will be expected to provide for their students. The use of new and innovative technologies in mathematics curriculum is given special emphasis. We hope that the readers will find this publication useful in their efforts to learn and teach the emerging trends of mathematics.
