Contemporary Problems of Teaching and Learning in Mathematics Education

Abstract

The way mathematics teaching and learning activities are presented to learners can make them hate or like the subject. The question of accomplishing the mathematics education of the learner from primary to post-secondary school levels is one which necessarily tasks, not only the teacher’s stock of mathematical knowledge but also his skill, his method of approach and finally his handling of the processes of feedback mechanisms. This paper outlines some of the fundamental problems confronting mathematics teachers and learners, and by means of previously published work, it proposed some useful suggestions which have gained support through classroom implementation.
