EFFECTIVENESS OF CONCRETE TEACHING IN TEACHING OF WORD PROBLEMS IN MATHEMATICS

As a teacher educator, the researcher often observed the school students expressing that they are unable to remember various formulae in Mathematics and use them correctly to solve word problems. The present action research project has been undertaken with the purpose to explore the effectiveness of Concrete Teaching in teaching of Word Problems for Std VI students. The pre-test and post test scores revealed that the performance of the students improved significantly, and the students expressed better confidence and felt motivated in the Mathematics class.
