A STUDY ON HEMISPHERCITY IN ACTIVATING MATHEMATICAL SKILLS

This present study is aim to study, mathematical skills of the pupil in relation to their brain dominance. Knowledge in mathematic related field such as numerical knowledge, arithmetic, graphical & geometric sense etc, are important for any individual for their day to day life. Hence the present study intended to study the mathematical skills of the pupil. Since each individual have their own cognitive level, hence the dominant brain be the factor for their academic performances. So this leads to study the mathematical skills of the pupil in relation to their brain dominance. The human brain divided into two hemispheres, the right & left, they do unique function and also having unique characteristics. All these aspects are considered for the study. By random selection method 190 samples were collected from students of standard IX. From the analysis, the major findings were arrived such as, the Left and Right brainers are differed significantly and the Left brainers are good in Total Mathematical Skills also they performed well in the dimensions viz., Arithmetic & Numerical, Statistical, Mathematical Linguistic, Logical skills. In other hand the Right brainers are good in Geometric skills. Considering right & left brainer in both gender (boys and girls) the left brainers are performed better in total mathematical skills. The relationship also shows that the entire dimension positively correlated with total mathematical skill for both right and left brainers.
