Goals:
To develop a sense of love and interest in Mathematics with latest techniques and its applications in practical life of students.
Course objectives:
The main objectives of the syllabus are:
- to provide material for the students to understand the basics of number system and its operations;
- to develop the students’ cognitive (mental) skills to enable them to answer quickly without solving;
- to develop the students’ writing skills to enable them to solve questions quickly without wasting time on previous steps;
- to develop the students’ listening skills to enable them to listen and solve questions more quickly as before this course;
- to develop the students’ general capacity to a level that enables them to use Mathematics in their practical life with full of confidence.
Why this training is important for you? After completing this fruitful training:
- teachers can teach and student can do questions efficiently;
- interest will be developed from both side teachers and students;
- student can get confidence and will say “ I can do this”;
- teachers will able to learn many new techniques to simplify mental operation especially our own proved method of SM Subtraction (subtraction without borrow)
