Abstract

Mathematics often scares children and many adults too. All children have to learn mathematics till class X, however, by the time they come to class III-IV, they drift away from it. The same children, who in classes I and II were eager to understand and made an effort to engage with maths, start falling behind. And as they move up to higher classes, they start panicking at the name of mathematics. The policy documents in India have been highlighting this issue and the most recent, National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023 also states that there are two major aspects that cause fear of maths: (i) the nature of the subject and how it is taught and assessed; and (ii) how it is perceived in society. (NCF-SE 2023, p. 271)
