This blog post is about the traditional mathematics in Indian syllabus in schools. And my claims supporting inclusion of consecutive numbers in the syllabus.
Functions, algebra, trigonometry, Maclaurin series, Force of Newton and calculus are the main categories in the education today. Most of the topics develop children to think. Most of the topics encourage the children to discover the external world.
I put forward my claims of consecutive numbers. They will help children to understand infinite series, mathematical constants and binomial operations. These concepts will help children in their IQ. These concepts will help children to discover internal world.
Today the education is restricted to mostly scientists and engineers. Arts, commerce, diploma students don't have exciting topics.
If consecutive numbers are included in syllabus arts, commerce, diploma students will have interesting topic.
When we write 1,2,3,4,5 . . . 10; most of the kids will think numbers are increasing by 1. Little do they realize that there is decrease in numbers too; if looked the other way.
Consecutive numbers form has plus and minus both symbols. The above mentioned confusion do not arise.
These are some points.
I am too small to suggest a change in curricula.
ReplyDeleteOnly Rabindranath Tagore can suggest making a change in curriculum.
But what is the harm in trying is my motive. Not anything else.
